Snowflake experienced a major service disruption in the Azure East US 2 region lasting 2.6 hours, where customers were unable to sign in, execute queries, manage data, or access Snowsight due to degraded metadata database infrastructure and Snowsight infrastructure issues. The incident was resolved by rerouting traffic away from the affected infrastructure to healthy systems, with some users experiencing temporary delays in query history during recovery.

Incident start time: 17:47 UTC April 07, 2026
Incident end time: 19:45 UTC April 07, 2026
Preliminary root cause: A subset of our metadata database infrastructure in this region became degraded, which impacted the overall availability of the service for affected customers. Concurrently, Snowsight infrastructure experienced a period of increased latency and failures, which correlated specifically to Snowsight availability issues in the region.
A root cause analysis (RCA) document will be published within five business days.
Current status: We've confirmed that our service has recovered following the routing of affected traffic to healthy infrastructure, and we're continuing to monitor as the health of Snowsight continues to improve. Other services are fully recovered, but some users who were affected during the period of impact may temporarily experience delayed or incomplete query history.
Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified regions may have been unable to access or use multiple core Snowflake services and features, and may have experienced latency when using Snowsight. Affected users may have been unable to sign in, execute queries, or manage data.

Preliminary root cause: A portion of the infrastructure that supports core Snowflake services was operating below operational thresholds, which resulted in impact.
Current status: We've identified the source of the issue as a portion of the infrastructure which supports core Snowflake services operating below operational thresholds. We've taken the affected portion of infrastructure out of active rotation and confirmed that Snowflake traffic is being routed to healthy infrastructure. Affected users may experience delayed query history. While the majority of impact appears to have subsided, we're working to confirm that impact to Snowsight specifically is recovering as well. We'll provide another update within 60 minutes.
Customer experience: Customers hosted in the specified regions may be unable to access or use multiple core Snowflake services and features, and may experience latency when using Snowsight. Affected users may be unable to sign in, execute queries, or manage data.
ETA: An ETA is not yet available. We'll provide one as soon as possible. In the meantime, we recommend that affected customers using replication initiate their failover procedures.
