# Apps keep serving without the panel

The control plane is not in the request path. Your containers and the proxy live on the servers and keep answering traffic if the dashboard is down, being upgraded or gone.

## What you lose

Only deploying, logs, metrics and the dashboard itself, until it is back. A panel restart never takes a site down.
