Deactivate or Delete a Service

Stop a service from handling requests when you don't need it, bring it back, or remove it for good.

Prerequisites​

You must have read and write permissions to services. For details, see User Roles and Permissions. To open a service, click Gateway in the navigation and click the service name.

Deactivate a Service to Save Resources​

Deactivating stops active-hour metering. The service record and the published pipeline version stay in place, so you can bring it back anytime.

Service statuses
  • Active: The service is deployed and handling requests.
  • Standby: The service is idle after the idle timeout in hosting settings. It wakes automatically on a request, or you can wake it manually.
  • Inactive: You deactivated the service. It does not handle requests.
  1. On Overview, in the Pipeline card, click More Actions.
  2. Choose Deactivate service and confirm. For a production service, type the service name to confirm.

The status changes to Inactive.

Wake or Activate a Service​

A service goes on standby after it reaches the idle timeout configured in the hosting settings. For details, see Configure Service Hosting and Cost.

  1. On Overview, in the Pipeline card, click More Actions.
  2. Choose Wake service if the service is on standby, or Activate service if it is inactive.

Delete a Service​

Remove a service you don't plan to use again. This removes the endpoint and the service's secrets but keeps the underlying pipeline. Deactivate the service first.

warning

Deleting a service cannot be undone.

  1. On Overview, in the Pipeline card, click More Actions.
  2. If the service is active, click Deactivate service and confirm.
  3. Click More Actions again, choose Delete service, and confirm. For a production service, type the service name to confirm.

The service is removed and you return to Gateway.
