We have encountered a small number of failed jobs in US region between 4:46 AM - 9:17 AM UTC.

Affected jobs finished with Application Error caused by invalid SSL connection to GoodData and we're investigating the issue.

UPDATE Nov 24, 1:42 PM (UTC) - Only projects having custom GoodData domains was affected by this issue. Problem was with validation of a renewed SSL certificate. The fix is deploying right now.

We are investigating job termination issues for some components. After termination request is accepted jobs remain in terminating state until finished. 

UPDATE Nov 22, 9:28 AM (UTC) - We have identified the root cause and prepared the fix which should be released in few hours. Only minority of jobs termination was affected by this issue.

UPDATE Nov 22, 10:49 AM (UTC) - The fix was deployed and job termination is fully functional again for all jobs.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud is facing increased network connectivity errors to instances, hence the performance of Keboola Connection in EU region is impacted. As a consequence connection to Snowflake and creation of Jupyter/R sanboxes fails, most of the jobs are slow or stalled.

UPDATE Nov 12, 8:39 AM (UTC) Amazon have identified the root cause and are working to resolve the issue.

We are experiencing failures of few components e.g. Salesforce Extractor. It is caused by recent infrastructure changes that were deployed on November 8th.

We are rolling back these changes and we'll update this status with new information.

UPDATE Nov 11, 8:37 AM (UTC) - Changes was rolled back and affected components should be working again without issues.

UPDATE Nov 11, 8:50 AM (UTC) - We're investigating further issues with Salesforce Extractor. 

UPDATE Nov 11, 9:00 AM (UTC) - Salesforce Extractor is working again. 

We're sorry for the inconvenience.
