Hi, @kapa.ai. Do you know if the systems are working smoothly, because I tried to set up a connection and it would return 504 error for me. Do you know why this is happening?

Yes, I can provide some insights based on similar issues reported by other Airbyte users. The HTTP 504 error typically indicates a gateway timeout error. This can occur when the server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not receive a timely response from the upstream server it accessed in attempting to complete the request. In the context of Airbyte, this error can occur when setting up a new connection and the process takes longer than the server's configured timeout limit. This is often the case when the connector is trying to fetch a large amount of data or schemas from the source database. There are a few potential solutions to this issue: 1. Increase the server timeout limit: If you're using Nginx, you can increase the timeout limit in the Nginx configuration. If you're using Kubernetes, you can adjust the timeout settings in the ingress configuration. 2. Reduce the amount of data being fetched: If the timeout is occurring because the connector is trying to fetch a large amount of data, you could try limiting the amount of data being fetched. For example, if you're fetching data from a database, you could limit the user access to only the necessary collections or tables. 3. Check your network and server configurations: In some cases, the issue might be related to your network or server configurations. For example, one user reported that the issue was resolved after changing from Nginx ingress to HAProxy ingress in their Kubernetes setup. Please note that these are general suggestions and the exact solution might depend on your specific setup and configuration. If you continue to experience issues, I would recommend reaching out to the Airbyte community or support for more specific guidance.
