Can't connect Prisma Accelerate to MySQL on Railway
I'm trying to connect Prisma Accelerate to a MySQL database hosted on Railway, but I keep running into issues.
When I use Prisma normally (without Accelerate), the connection works fine using this URL:
mysql://[user]:[password]@auto.proxy.rlwy.net:44574/mydb
But when I try to use Accelerate, I get this:
Please wait: Accelerate is not ready yet
Is there any official guidance on using Prisma Accelerate with Railway's MySQL?
Thanks a lot for any help or insight 🙏

I'm getting the exact same issue this morning but for postgres on Railway. This is a new issue that I haven't experienced before because I already have 3 Postgres Railway DBs working with Accelerate that I setup a while ago.
@Juan. 🏓❆ they've deployed a fix and it's now working for new accelerate connections
Yes, this should be resolved now 🙏
Thank you for raising this. Please let us know if you face any issues.
Thanks a lot @Henry and @Nurul (Prisma) ! I just retried setting up Prisma Accelerate with my Railway MySQL database, and it's now working as expected 🙌
Appreciate the quick fix and support — great work 💪
