App Engine down for php74? All our php App Engine apps throw HTTP 500

We had multiple independent AppEngine apps that were not responsive for the last two two hours.
The logs showed an 500 Error: "The request failed because the instance could not start successfully"
We didn't do any releases. All apps are running in the standard php74 environment. They are independently failing.
I did not find any incident report on the Google Cloud Service Health board. 

Did any of you experience a similar problem? Am I overlooking something on the Google Cloud Service Health board?

Hi @HaGuesto,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

Guidance based on available information and best practices:

  • You're experiencing HTTP 500 errors on your App Engine php74 apps.
  • Re-check Google Cloud Service Health for regional issues or subscribe to notifications.
  • Deploy a simple test app to isolate the problem.
  • Analyze error logs for specific errors, quotas, and limitations.
  • Contact Google Cloud Support for further assistance.
  • Consider upgrading PHP runtime or reviewing App Engine documentation.
  • Monitor community forums for potential solutions.
