About AWS RDS

Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) is AWS's managed relational database platform supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and MariaDB with automated backups, Multi-AZ failover, and read replicas. RDS powers production transactional databases for thousands of enterprises that need automated patching, point-in-time recovery, and high availability without managing database infrastructure. RDS outages cause connection failures and application downtime that cascade to every dependent service. Monitor live Amazon RDS status across all AWS regions and track RDS incident history here.

FAQ

Is AWS RDS down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS RDS status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official AWS RDS status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a AWS RDS outage?

If AWS RDS is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the AWS RDS team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check AWS RDS uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS RDS uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS RDS outages?

PulsAPI polls the AWS RDS official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when AWS RDS goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to AWS RDS. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever AWS RDS status changes.

How do I report a AWS RDS issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual AWS RDS components?

Yes, where AWS RDS exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked AWS RDS component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of AWS RDS is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS RDS?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor AWS RDS alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
