Gmail is down...

Highly unlikely that something would be 100% global with Gmail. Usually some portion still works.

Gmail is handled by servers all over the world. Gmail going down for a region, datacenter, even country, doesn't necessarily take down all other regions. In modern applications at any scale, outages are normally isolated, never universal.

And it's not just regional, but by service. For example, when you said that Gmail is up, how did you check? Did you look at the web interface? Because while that's a GUI to gmail, it's not the email service. It's just a web interface for seeing your mailbox. What's down on Gmail is SMTP, the actual email portion of it. So you can log in and look at it, but you can't receive mail from others. And it's easy to test, email from somewhere outside of Gmail and it immediately returns that your mailbox doesn't exist.
Sending, receiving, web interface... all totally different services from Gmail that doesn't directly talk to each other.

So in this particular example, so far we've seen the outage over most of the east and central US, but I'm not sure we've seen west coast out yet (yet!) And it's only inbound, but not outbound, SMTP. So you can still send email, but people can't respond to you.

Yes, we have failover alerts and online order failing alerts from outside of gmail that were coming in at the time of your post. though I haven't seen any in a while now.

are you sure it was outside Gmail? just becuase it's a non gmail.com domain doesn't mean it's not on Google's platform.

We've had a few more fail just now. More regions.

@siringo Well at least @JaredBusch is planning his Edge switches and UAP-ACs around some sort of properties or offices.
Client in Kansas added building D to their complex.
While they were at it they put pipes in the ground between all buildings. Fiber going in, see my other thread.
yes, that doe make it more ... complex.
i like you guys, you seem to tolerate my insanity.
