Start, stop & restart database proxy
All proxy operations run from the Action column of the DB Proxy page. Each one takes approximately 5 to 7 minutes, and the proxy's other operations stay disabled until it finishes.
What each operation does
| Operation | Effect | Status sequence |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Starts a stopped proxy. | Starting → Running |
| Stop | Stops a running proxy. Connections through it are cut while it is stopped. | Stopping → Stopped |
| Restart | Stops and starts the proxy, usually to clear a transient problem. | Restarting → Running |
| Delete | Deletes the proxy and releases its resources. | — |
warning
Deleting a proxy cannot be undone, and any application still pointed at its endpoint loses connectivity immediately. Move traffic back to the database endpoint or to another proxy first.
