Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Confluent Cloud experienced elevated Kafka latency in the GCP asia-southeast1 region, affecting less than 0.1% of produce and fetch requests for some customers while median latencies remained unimpacted. The issue was caused by an underlying GCP problem that required collaboration between Confluent and Google Cloud Platform to identify and resolve. The incident lasted 11.8 hours and was fully resolved after GCP implemented a fix and monitoring confirmed all systems were working normally.

We are currently investigating this issue.
