Google Cloud Accused of Suspending Major Customer Without Warning, Causing Hours-Long Outage

Google Cloud abruptly suspended PaaS company Railway's account on May 19, 2026, triggering an eight-hour outage that affected all Railway workloads across multiple clouds. Railway, which hosts over 10 million services for three million users, criticized Google's lack of warning and acknowledged its own technical dependency on GCP as the root cause. The incident underscores the risks of single-cloud reliance for global digital infrastructure.
