Query failures can be due to PlanetScale outages or connection issues. Check our status above for your database region. If PlanetScale is up, verify your connection string, check if you've hit connection limits, and ensure your branch is not sleeping (on hobby tier).
Deploy requests and schema migrations may fail during outages. PlanetScale's branching workflow means you can still develop locally. Once service resumes, your pending deploy requests will be available to merge.
Development branches remain safe during outages. Data is replicated and persists through infrastructure issues. Production branches have higher availability guarantees. Check the specific component status for branches vs production databases.
During outages or high load, connection pooling may be affected. Use PlanetScale's connection pooling URL rather than direct connections. Implement connection retry logic in your app and consider using Prisma's connection pooling feature.
