    Between 03:20 and 07:20 UTC on October 13, 2026, some Starburst Galaxy users experienced degraded performance when connecting to their clusters. Password-based and token-based logins from Trino clients were very slow. Some queries failed with server errors (HTTP 500/504) while waiting for authentication. Logins through SSO and existing Galaxy UI sessions were largely unaffected.

    The cause was a slow response from an external dependency used during password-based authentication. The slow responses tied up our authentication service, and it could not keep up with incoming requests. We deployed a fix that restored normal login performance at 07:20 UTC. A permanent fix with additional safeguards was released later the same day and has been running without issue.

    No action is required from customers. We apologize for the inconvenience.
