The subject technology generates a unique identification that references a first connection object of a first deployment and a second connection object of a second deployment of a database. The subject technology receives a notification that the first deployment is unavailable, the notification that the first deployment is unavailable comprises an indication of a downtime for the first deployment. The subject technology provides an external connection group unique identification to the second deployment for the second deployment to determine whether a client is to be connected to the second deployment. The subject technology receives a uniform resource locator from the second deployment when a client device is to be connected to the second deployment, the uniform resource locator being provided to the client device for connecting to the second deployment.
