Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What ConfigCat does

ConfigCat is a hosted feature flag service. Developers define flags in a dashboard and ConfigCat distributes the resulting configuration through a CDN to SDKs embedded in applications. Teams use it to turn features on and off without deploying and to run gradual rollouts, which puts it in the request path of production software.

What an outage looks like

Less than people expect. Applications keep evaluating flags from the configuration their SDK already cached, so the visible symptom is usually that a flag change made in the dashboard never reaches running applications. The dashboard itself may fail to load or save. Processes starting with an empty cache are the ones genuinely at risk.

What to do about it

Check ConfigCat's status page, then confirm whether anything is actually broken: a failed refresh does not erase configuration an SDK has already downloaded, so most applications continue on their last known good values. Hold deployments that would start instances with a cold cache. Teams running the ConfigCat Proxy have a local copy to serve from.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says ConfigCat is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 18 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

ConfigCat outage FAQ

Does my application break when ConfigCat is down?
Usually not. ConfigCat SDKs cache the last configuration they downloaded successfully and keep evaluating flags from it when a refresh fails, whether the cause is network, DNS, CDN or the service itself. Flag values simply stop changing. This is documented fault tolerance rather than a lucky side effect.
Will a flag change I make now reach my users?
Not until SDKs can fetch again. In auto polling mode SDKs pull the latest configuration roughly every 60 seconds by default, and lazy loading uses a cache with a 60 second time to live. During an incident those refreshes fail and applications hold their previous values.
What about processes that start during the outage?
Those are the real exposure. An SDK starting with no cached configuration has nothing to fall back on and uses the default values compiled into your code. Holding deployments and avoiding autoscaling events during a ConfigCat incident keeps running instances on the configuration they already hold.
Does the ConfigCat Proxy help here?
Yes. The Proxy runs a flag evaluation service inside your own infrastructure and acts as an extra caching and delivery layer, so applications talk to it instead of reaching ConfigCat's CDN directly. It is the option teams choose when an external dependency in the request path is unacceptable.

How we measure this

  • We request ConfigCat's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where ConfigCat publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
