02/20/2026, 4:04 PMPending or otherwise not scheduled. [Syncs stuck]
• General resource constraints (CPU/RAM) or environment limits that prevent the worker from being created. [Airbyte resources]
Given that:
1. Check whether the worker actually started
◦ In the Airbyte UI, open the connection, go to the last job, and download/view the logs.
◦ If there are no source/destination logs at all, the job likely never left the queue (no worker was started).
2. Inspect your deployment resources
◦ If you’re on Kubernetes: check if the airbyte-worker pod for this job is in Pending or CrashLoopBackOff. [Syncs stuck]
◦ If you’re on Docker: run docker ps / docker stats and see whether a worker container is created and whether CPU/RAM are close to limits. [Airbyte resources]
3. Try a smaller test sync
◦ Create a new connection from the same Couchbase bucket but limit it to a single small collection/stream and run a sync.
◦ If the small sync starts and finishes, the issue is more likely capacity/limits when handling the full 1 GB dataset.
4. Check Couchbase connector basics
◦ Ensure the Couchbase source is configured against a healthy 7.0+ server/Capella cluster and that the bucket/collections are accessible. [Couchbase source]
◦ The connector will try to read all collections in the bucket as streams; if there are many collections, that can increase load. [Couchbase source]
Because the provided sources don’t include a direct fix for “job stuck in queue for Couchbase → Postgres”, I can’t point to a specific bug or patch. The next concrete steps would be:
• Share/download the job logs for this connection and confirm whether a worker ever starts.
• Check your environment (Docker/K8s) for pending/stuck worker containers/pods and resource limits.
• If logs show nothing and workers are pending, you’ll likely need to increase available resources or adjust your scheduler/cluster so Airbyte workers can be scheduled.
If you can paste the job logs (or confirm whether there are any source/destination logs at all), I can help you interpret them based only on what’s documented. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.Nitin Agrawal
