Database statuses

A database can have one of several statuses. Each status has a different impact on your ability to use the database.

In the Astra Portal, go to Databases to see the status of all your databases. To see the status of a specific database, select the database in the navigation menu.

Database status definitions

Active

Your database is available and ready to use.

Initializing

The database is being provisioned. It should be ready to use soon.

Maintenance

While a database is entering or exiting Hibernated status, the database is in Maintenance status.

Hibernated

When an Astra DB database on the Free plan is idle for more than 48 hours, it automatically enters Hibernated status.

In the Astra Portal, you can resume hibernated databases:

  • To resume all databases, go to Databases, and then click Resume Databases.

  • To resume individual databases, select the database in the navigation menu, and then click Resume Database.

    It can take a few minutes for a hibernated database to resume and return to Active status.

    Database hibernation occurs on Free plans only. To avoid hibernation, and to access additional Astra DB functionality, upgrade your plan.

Parking

The database is being parked.

Parked

The database is parked. The database is unavailable until you unpark it.

Unparking

The database is unparking. The database is unavailable while unparking.

Resizing

The database is scaling up. Database functionality is limited while resizing.

Terminating

The database and all of its data are being deleted.

Terminated

The database and all of its data are no longer available.

Error
