Dear Earth Engine users,

Earth Engine is currently running with reduced compute capacity due to an ongoing outage in our underlying infrastructure. You may notice that you have fewer concurrent batch tasks than normal, or that online requests take more time to complete.

We're moving processing to neighboring datacenters to mitigate the issue, but you'll experience significantly reduced batch processing throughput and a minor reduction in online processing throughput while the issue is active, potentially over the next week.

Thanks for bearing with us. We'll post further updates here as we get them.

Best,
- Michael, on behalf of the Earth Engine team

TL;DR - Approaching normal.

At the time of this message, we've restored the batch processing stack to near its normal capacity, and we're working through a large backlog of batch tasks. We haven't yet fully restored the compute resources for the interactive (online) service, but the current state is stable.

In order to maximize the processing power available for your analysis requests, we've temporarily increased the ingestion latency for some data feeds (e.g., Sentinel-2 data backfill); we expect this to have little operational impact.

Again, thanks for bearing with us here. We're currently optimistic that we can get everything behaving normally early next week.


Best,
- Michael, on behalf of the Earth Engine team

We're back at full capacity. Service has been running normally for over a week. Please let us know if you experience any other issues.

--Tony, for the Earth Engine team
