About Pinecone
AIWatch Data: Pinecone's reported uptime is 99.91%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it experienced 5 incidents with an average recovery time of 3h 23m.
Pinecone is a fully-managed vector database for production-grade similarity search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It powers semantic search, recommendations, and AI memory in many large applications.
AIWatch Insight: Pinecone is region-specific — outages can affect specific environments (us-east-1, eu-west-1, etc.) without breaking the global platform. AIWatch tracks Pinecone's primary status; for region-specific issues check the official status page for component breakdowns.
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.
