Questions
Is PlanetScale down right now?
PlanetScale’s official status page says: All Systems Operational. This page checks it again when you load it, at most every 5 minutes.
When was PlanetScale last down?
The most recent incident PlanetScale reported was “Problems with Vitess connectivity and credential changes”, 2 days ago (2026-10-26 21:53 UTC). Its last full outage started 2 days ago.
Which parts of PlanetScale are tracked here?
PlanetScale reports 25 components on its status page, including us-east-1 (Northern Virginia), us-east-2 (Ohio), us-west-2 (Oregon), ap-northeast-1 (Tokyo), ap-south-1 (Mumbai). Each is checked again whenever this page refreshes.
What should I do if PlanetScale is down?
Pause deploys that depend on it, queue or retry failed jobs once it recovers, and check whether a mirror or cache can cover the gap.
PlanetScale lists AWS and GCP regions — which row is mine?
Either, depending on where the branch is deployed: the status page lists AWS regions (us-east-1…) and GCP regions (us-east4…) separately. `pscale database show` reports your cluster's region.
Can I reduce the blast radius of a single-region PlanetScale outage?
PlanetScale supports read-only regions: adding a replica in another region lets read traffic fail over there while the primary region is degraded.
How do I tell if PlanetScale is down for everyone or only for me?
If the status above is operational but PlanetScale still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.
How can I get alerted when my own site goes down?
OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
