About Pinecone

AIWatch Data: Pinecone's reported uptime is 100.00%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 3 incidents with an average recovery time of 42 minutes.

Pinecone is a fully-managed vector database for production-grade similarity search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

AIWatch Insight: Pinecone is region-specific — outages can affect specific environments (us-east-1, eu-west-1, etc.) without breaking the global platform.

When Pinecone is down, applications relying on vector search for RAG, semantic search, or recommendations will fail. AI agents that depend on long-term memory or knowledge retrieval will lose context.

This page provides real-time status and recent incident details; uptime history is shown only when the official source publishes sufficient comparable records — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
