If Vallkey is down

What happens if Vallkey cannot be reached, and how to stay ready.

The status page shows the live state of every part of Vallkey and any incident. If we are unreachable, requests through Vallkey fail. Prepare a way out before you need it:

  1. In your provider's dashboard, create a backup key with only the permissions your app needs (in Stripe, a restricted key).
  2. Store it in your password manager. Never put it in your app or CI until you need it.
  3. If we are down: set the backup key as your app's key, remove the api.vallkey.com override, and redeploy.
  4. When we are back: switch to the ghost key again and roll the backup key in your provider's dashboard, since it has now been used.
