    Elevated error rates and latency on produce and consume operations on AWS us-east-1 AZ4

    We are investigating data plane impact (produce/consume) resulting from elevated error rates and latencies from AWS us-east-1 resources in AZ4. EC2 instances hosted on this availability zone are impaired by loss of power during an ongoing thermal event.

What to do next

  • Verify your own services recovered cleanly. Some upstream outages leave queues or caches in a degraded state, run smoke tests before declaring green internally.
  • Save the post-mortem. Vendors usually publish a detailed RCA 1-3 days later. We'll add it to this page when it appears.
  • Watch the provider going forward. Follow Confluent Cloud's status feed →

GlobalOutageMap aggregates publicly reported signals. We never claim authoritative status, always cross-check the provider's official channel before making business decisions.
