How to resolve Google Cloud SQL HTTP Error 409?

We'll look at the error's appearance and its root cause before moving on to the troubleshooting steps.

One of the following error messages could appear:

Error 409 Operation failed because another operation was already in progress

Or

HTTP Error 409 in a Terraform script

The cause of the issue:

1. The Terraform script must wait for each operation to finish before proceeding to the next.

2. The operation failed due to another operation already being in progress, according to HTTP Error 409.

3. when attempting to use a previously deleted instance's name again before the waiting period for name re-use has expired.

4. This error may also occur if there are problems with operation synchronization between the instance and the Cloud SQL service.

Troubleshooting methods:

1. We must halt the execution of a Terraform script while it is running until each instance operation is finished.

We can instruct the script to poll and wait until the previous operation ID returns a 200. Otherwise, we'll have to wait for the current operation to finish.

2. We have a week to pass after deleting an instance before we can use the same name again for another instance.

3. If there was a synchronization problem, the current operation would have been stopped. As a result, there will be no difficulty in deleting the instance going forward.
