Snapsheet incident

Data Latency Delay

Resolved after 1 hour 40 minutes, affecting US, on May 7, 2026.

postmortem May 21, 2026, 05:18 PM UTC

On May 7, 2026, a data pipeline component responsible for replicating production data to the warehouse entered a silent failure state due to an internal schema inconsistency. This caused data replication to stall for over 4 hours, resulting in missing or delayed data for affected clients. The issue was not caught by automated alerting because the pipeline continued to report a healthy status despite being inactive. Once identified, the problem was resolved by removing the affected table from the pipeline configuration, restoring normal data flow. We are in the process of updating our alerting to report this kind of issue going forward.
