Delayed connector restarts and config updates across all data planes

Incident Report for Estuary

Resolved

For the five hours from 23:30 11/05/2025 to 05:30 11/06/2025 (UTC) connector restarts and config updates across all data planes were delayed.
This means if a connector failed and needed to be restarted automatically, or settings were changed (by users or automatic processes like schema inference and auto discovery), it would have taken longer than usual for those changes to take effect.

The root cause was an intentional change to schemas that required republication of all collection schemas, which resulted in a large queue of changes to be actioned. The issue has been resolved and optimizations have been made to prevent delays in future.

Please reach out if you have questions or issues, and apologies for the inconvenience.
