PlanetScale Status FAQ

Is PlanetScale down right now?

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

What should I do if PlanetScale 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 PlanetScale recovers.

How do I check PlanetScale uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks PlanetScale uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for PlanetScale.

How fast does PulsAPI detect PlanetScale outages?

PulsAPI polls the official PlanetScale status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.

Does PulsAPI track individual PlanetScale components?

Yes. PulsAPI monitors 15 individual PlanetScale components, so you can see which service or region is affected instead of a generic "service degraded" banner.

Can I get alerts when PlanetScale goes down?

Yes. Create a PulsAPI account and subscribe to PlanetScale. Email alerts are included on the free Starter plan. Paid plans add Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks whenever PlanetScale status changes.

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