Firestore read/write failures
Database operations may time out, return UNAVAILABLE errors, or fail with quota exceeded messages during outages.
Authentication and sign-in errors
Users may be unable to sign in, get 'auth/network-request-failed' errors, or experience token refresh failures.
Cloud Functions not executing
Functions may fail to trigger, time out, or return 500/503 errors when Firebase infrastructure is under stress.
Hosting or CDN slowness
Static sites on Firebase Hosting may load slowly, return 502 errors, or become temporarily unreachable.
How do I troubleshoot Firebase issues?
- 1
Check Firebase console logs
View Firestore, Authentication, and Functions logs in the Firebase Console to identify service-specific issues.
- 2
Test individual services
Isolate issues by testing Firestore, Auth, Functions, and Hosting separately to pinpoint which service is affected.
- 3
Verify quota limits
Check your project quota in Firebase Console to rule out usage limits as the cause of errors.
- 4
Test from different regions
Firebase outages can be region-specific. Test from different geographic locations to confirm scope.
- 5
Monitor via Firebase Admin SDK
Use Admin SDK health checks to programmatically verify Firebase service status in your applications.
What is Firebase's current status?
API Status Check tracks Firebase status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.
Independent Firebase status checks
API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Firebase status even if official updates are delayed.
Incident history and uptime data
Review recent incidents, response times, and reliability trends to understand Firebase stability.
Real-time alerts and integrations
Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Firebase experiences a new incident.
What can I do during a Firebase outage?
Use offline persistence
Firestore offline persistence can keep your app functional during short outages by serving cached data.
Implement retry logic
Add exponential backoff and retry mechanisms for Firebase operations to handle transient failures gracefully.
Cache authentication tokens
Implement token caching to reduce dependency on Firebase Auth during temporary outages.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts to get notified the moment Firebase recovers from an outage.
