Description: Gmail and Google Drive saw service degradation for a duration of 4 hours 10 minutes. From preliminary analysis, the root cause was a latent misconfiguration of our lock-service infrastructure that impacted a critical storage layer during a high-load scenario. Google will complete a full IR in the following days that will provide a full root cause.

Customer Impact:

  • Gmail users experienced issues with attachment functionality. Users may be unable to send emails or save drafts containing attachments. Sending emails without attachments remains functional.
