April 2026: Source Shopify failing bulk operations due to third party change
Airbyte's Shopify source connector experienced failures when syncing the `order_agreements` stream due to Shopify implementing stricter validation on their Bulk Operations API. The API began rejecting queries for nested connections that don't implement the 'Node' interface, specifically affecting the agreements connection. The incident lasted 1.6 hours and was identified as being caused by third-party changes on Shopify's side.
