Hello Eric B,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

The intermittent 500 and 400 errors in your Database API Builder (DAB) across multiple Static Web Apps (SWA) instances suggest either a service disruption or configuration issue. First, check Azure Status for any ongoing incidents with DAB or dependent services.

Key troubleshooting steps:

Verify your connection strings and database permissions haven't expired or changed
Review recent deployment logs for schema changes that might conflict with DAB
Test with a minimal API endpoint to isolate whether the issue affects all endpoints

If basic checks show no problems, redeploy your DAB configuration and enable detailed logging to capture the root cause. The mixed error codes often indicate either authentication problems (400) or backend processing failures (500).

Hi @Eric B
The 400 error generally suggests a bad request, possibly due to issues with your API parameters or authentication. The 500 error indicates a server-side issue likely with the connection to your backend or configuration.
