Some app backends and deployments are facing issuesResolved Oct 6, 2026 · 29h 39mResolved

Between 11:13am and 12:42pm PT, apps created after October 1st had their backend and database paused because of a configuration change by our database and backend provider. Frontends stayed online throughout. Most apps recovered by 12:20pm and all by 1:00pm. No data was lost. We’re working with our provider to prevent this from happening again and to reduce our reliance on third-party infrastructure. We’re sorry for the disruption. --- [2026-10-06T19:25:02Z] (monitoring) All deployments are now working, if you still see any remaining issues please contact support for help. --- [2026-10-06T19:05:51Z] (identified) **What isn't working?** Some customer's publish apps backends and deployments are down **What is working?** Most backends and deployments are unaffected. All other parts of Hercules are functional. **Cause** Our upstream provider [Convex](https://www.convex.dev/) marked some deployments to pause, we are working with them to restore all --- [2026-10-06T19:01:15Z] (investigating) Investigating

Hercules Status FAQ

Is Hercules down right now?

The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official Hercules status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer. PulsAPI re-checks it every 60 seconds.

What should I do if Hercules is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until Hercules recovers.

How do I check Hercules uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks Hercules uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is not published yet, because a 30-day figure needs 30 days of tracked history. The 90-day uptime strip on this page is public: no account needed. A free account adds alerts whenever Hercules changes state, plus 15 days of incident detail; Pro extends that to 90 days and Business to 13 months.

How fast does PulsAPI detect Hercules outages?

PulsAPI reads the official Hercules status page. PulsAPI re-checks it every 60 seconds. Alerts reach Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email once a change has held for 5 minutes, so a one-minute blip does not page you.

Does PulsAPI track individual Hercules components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 8 individual Hercules components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when Hercules goes down?

Yes. Create a free account and subscribe to Hercules: the free plan covers three services with unlimited email alerts and no monthly notification cap. Paid plans lift the monitor limit entirely (Pro and above do not meter how many vendors you watch) and route the same alerts into Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty and webhooks.

How do I report an issue with Hercules to the community?

Click "Report an issue" at the top of this page, pick the issue type and severity, and optionally add your region and a short note. Reports are anonymous and help other engineers spot Hercules problems early. Official status pages often lag real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Is there a free way to monitor Hercules?

Yes. The free plan covers 3 monitored services with unlimited email alerts, permanently, so Hercules plus two more costs nothing. Every new account also opens with a 30-day Business trial (unlimited monitors, Slack alerts, SLA reporting) with no credit card.
