Your config is

    location /apis {
        return 500 '{"errors": "MySQL DB Server is down"}';
    }

Whenever you make a request that is handled in that location{}, your
nginx will return that response.

It looks like your nginx is doing what it was told to do.

No part of your config indicates that nginx knows (or cares) whether
MySQL DB is up or down. Does something outside of nginx know that?
