What should I do if CockroachDB Cloud is down for me?

Check your connection limit and pool settings first, since exhausting connections looks exactly like the database being down. Retry with a longer timeout, because a serverless or scale-to-zero instance may simply be waking up. Confirm your credentials and IP allowlist have not changed, as an auth or firewall denial reads as a failed query. Query from another network or client to establish whether the cluster or your route to it is the problem.

CockroachDB Cloud is a distributed SQL database designed to survive node and region loss while staying strongly consistent. Its architecture means true unavailability is rare and the more common symptom is elevated latency as the cluster reroutes around a degraded region.

Is CockroachDB Cloud down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching CockroachDB Cloud normally right now, and it answered our last one in 695ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
