Official incident from Supabase
Intermittent connection errors via the connection pooler in us-east-1
-
Official
Resolved
Between 22:10 and 22:51 UTC on October 9, 2026, about 1% of new database connections made through the Shared Pooler (Supavisor) in us-east-1 failed with "Failed to connect to database" timeout errors. The cause of the failures was an incident at our cloud provider which affected network traffic between availability zones. Supabase Project databases were not affected, and connections that had already been open prior to the incident remained open. The issue was resolved at 22:51 UTC. Clients that retried on connection errors would have reconnected successfully.

What our checkpoints saw
HostTracker's checkpoints, which test supabase.com from several locations, recorded no outage of 5 minutes or longer during this incident. A provider can report a problem that affects only some features, regions or accounts, which a check of the main address does not see. The live Supabase status shows what our checks see right now.
Does your product depend on Supabase?
An outage like this one reaches your users through your product, and most teams hear about it from a customer rather than from a dashboard. HostTracker watches any endpoint you name - your own site, an API you call, a vendor you resell - from 300+ locations, confirms a failure from several of them before it says anything, and then tells you by email, SMS, voice call or your chat tool.
You get the same record you are reading here for your own services: every outage timestamped, with the checks that observed it.
