Bubble publishes a detailed status page with per-component breakdown:
Reading the Bubble Status Page
status.bubble.io shows status for each platform component independently. Here's what each indicator means:
Bubble Platform Components
Each component can have independent issues. A workflow failure doesn't mean the Editor is down:
No-code visual builder for creating and editing apps
Delivery of deployed apps to end users
Scheduled and triggered server-side logic
Bubble's built-in data storage and query engine
External API calls initiated from workflows or the front end
User file uploads and storage (backed by S3)
User sign-up, login, and session management
AI-assisted app generation and editing features
Editor Down vs. App Down — A Critical Distinction
Bubble runs two separate infrastructure layers. Understanding which is down saves debugging time:
Editor is down (bubble.io/editor)
What it means: You cannot build or modify your app. bubble.io/editor fails to load or becomes unresponsive.
Who's affected: Only you and your team are affected — users of your deployed app are usually unaffected.
How to confirm: Check status.bubble.io 'Editor' component. Try incognito or a different browser. Large complex apps can cause editor performance issues unrelated to platform status.
Deployed app is down (your-app.bubbleapps.io or custom domain)
What it means: Your users cannot access your app. The Editor may work fine.
Who's affected: All users of your app are affected. This is the critical scenario for production apps.
How to confirm: Check status.bubble.io 'App Serving' and 'CDN' components. Test both your custom domain and the fallback .bubbleapps.io URL to isolate DNS vs. platform issues.
Workflows not running
What it means: Backend scheduled or triggered workflows are not executing or are delayed.
Who's affected: App functionality that depends on server logic is broken — users may see outdated data or actions that appear to do nothing.
How to confirm: Check status.bubble.io 'Workflows' component. Review your app's Logs > Server for error details. Confirm the workflow is still scheduled and not accidentally paused.

These are the symptoms you'll see when Bubble is experiencing platform issues:
"Editor shows blank screen or fails to load"Editor CDN or build tool may be down. Clear browser cache, try incognito. If still failing, check status.bubble.io for Editor status."App says "This site is offline""App serving is down or your domain DNS is misconfigured. Check status.bubble.io App Serving status. If only your custom domain fails, check DNS propagation."Backend workflow not running on schedule"Scheduled workflow executor may be degraded. Check status.bubble.io Workflows component. Also check your app's Logs > Server for error details."Database query returning no results or timing out"Bubble database may be experiencing load. Simplify constraints, add indexes, or check if you've hit plan capacity limits. For platform issues, check status.bubble.io."API Connector call failing with no response"Could be a Bubble backend outage, or the external API itself is down. Test the API directly with curl or Postman to isolate. Check status.bubble.io API Connector component."File upload failing silently"Bubble's S3-backed file storage may be experiencing issues. Check status.bubble.io File Manager component. Also confirm the file type and size are within your plan limits.5 Ways to Check Bubble Status Right Now

In the Bubble Editor, go to Logs > Server to see server-side errors. This helps differentiate between a platform outage and a bug in your app's workflows or API calls.
Editor → Logs → Server → filter by time of issueTest Your .bubbleapps.io Fallback URL
If your custom domain is down but https://your-app-name.bubbleapps.io loads fine, the issue is with your domain DNS — not Bubble's platform. This test instantly narrows down the problem.
https://[your-app-name].bubbleapps.ioWhat to Do When Bubble Is Down
Immediate Steps
- Check status.bubble.io to confirm platform-level issue
- Notify your users with a status banner or email if app is user-facing
- Test .bubbleapps.io fallback URL to rule out DNS issues
- Check app Logs > Server for error context
- Subscribe to incident updates on status.bubble.io
Long-Term Resilience
- Set up independent uptime monitoring (Better Stack, apistatuscheck.com)
- Use a custom domain so users don't rely on .bubbleapps.io URLs
- Export app versions regularly via App > Export
- Document critical workflow logic outside Bubble (for incident response)
- Upgrade to Production plan for SLA and priority support
Bubble Uptime — What to Expect
For apps handling real users and revenue, the Production plan's SLA, priority support, and performance guarantees are worth the upgrade. Also see: Retool status guide for another popular low-code platform.

Where is the official Bubble status page?
Bubble's official status page is at status.bubble.io. It shows real-time status for all Bubble components including the Editor, deployed apps, workflows, the database, API Connector, and CDN delivery. For independent monitoring, use apistatuscheck.com.
Why is my Bubble app down but the Editor is working?
Bubble's Editor (bubble.io/editor) and deployed app infrastructure run on separate systems. A CDN or app server outage can take your deployed app offline while the Editor remains fully functional for building. Check status.bubble.io and look specifically at the 'App Serving' and 'CDN' components — not just 'Editor'. Your users see the deployed app, not the Editor.
Why are Bubble workflows not triggering?
Bubble workflow failures can be caused by: (1) Backend workflow service degradation — check status.bubble.io for 'Workflows', (2) API Connector failure if the workflow calls an external API, (3) Database timeout if the workflow runs a heavy data operation, (4) A capacity limit on your Bubble plan, (5) A bug introduced by a recent save — check your app's server logs under Logs > Server. Scheduled workflows and triggered workflows use different execution paths.
Why is the Bubble Editor loading slowly or not saving?
Bubble Editor performance issues are often caused by app complexity (large apps with many elements slow down the editor), browser memory usage (try closing other tabs or using Chrome), or an active Bubble platform incident. For Editor-specific outages, check status.bubble.io. If your app has grown very large, consider splitting it into separate Bubble apps linked by API or URL.
What is Bubble's uptime SLA?
Bubble's uptime SLA depends on your plan. Production plans offer a 99.9% uptime SLA. Hobby and free plans do not include SLA guarantees. Bubble's infrastructure runs on AWS, and incidents are typically resolved within 1-4 hours. For critical apps, consider upgrading to a Bubble Production or Dedicated plan for priority support and SLA coverage.
