checked responded in 21msHTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, Confluent Cloud has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~33 ms. According to Confluent Cloud's official status page, the most recent outage began 2026-08-25 04:17 UTC and lasted 3h 11m (severity: down). It was reported as "Elevated error rates and latencies in Azure Southeast Asia region".

Confluent Cloud is fully managed Apache Kafka, carrying event streams between services for many large platforms. Kafka's buffering usually absorbs short disruptions, so the symptom is consumer lag growing rather than immediate failure, and the damage becomes visible only once downstream systems fall behind.

What to do if Confluent Cloud is down for just you

  • Check your connection limit and pool settings first, since exhausting connections looks exactly like the database being down.
  • Retry with a longer timeout, because a serverless or scale-to-zero instance may simply be waking up.
  • Confirm your credentials and IP allowlist have not changed, as an auth or firewall denial reads as a failed query.
  • Query from another network or client to establish whether the cluster or your route to it is the problem.
