GCP Outage May Affect Syncs to and from Google Resources

What to do

• Check whether you use Census Sync Engine. Check your stack

  Paste a package.json, lockfile, Terraform or a list of domains at down.guide/stack to see every provider you depend on.

• Confirm your retries, queues and scheduled jobs caught up after the 2h 35m it lasted.

  Anything that failed between 2025-06-12 18:30 UTC and 2025-06-12 21:05 UTC may need a replay.

   We are aware of the current GCP outage and we are monitoring its impact on Census syncs to and from Google and Google Cloud Resources. Census does not run any critical components on GCP but we do use GCP resources, including Cloud Storage, to facilitate interaction with BigQuery and other Google Cloud resources.

   Internal monitoring indicates that syncs to and from BigQuery started experiencing increased failure rates at around 18:05 UTC. The rate of failures is now decreasing but has not returned to usual levels.

   Our monitoring systems continue to see a sustained error rate when communicating with Google BigQuery. We will monitor and report when the issue is resolved from Census' perspective. Google Cloud has provided additional information on their status page, located here: https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1SsW

   Census systems remain unaffected as GCP comes back online. We are now seeing the majority of our GCP hosted customers have successful syncs.
