Is Google down?

It was, but it’s back now.

What happened?

No idea. But most of Google’s services including Gmail, Youtube, Analytics and Search Console all triggered a 500 server not found error from 11:47am with services coming back online at 12:31pm. The downtime was global.

UPDATE 12:50am – Services are coming back online gradually. Some users still reporting no access to Gmail.
