From the docs and issues, we can infer:
• The Connector Builder service is primarily for designing and editing connectors in the UI; it is turned off in some modes (e.g., low-resource mode) without mention of breaking existing syncs. [Connector builder off; Values.yaml ref]
• There is no explicit statement that disabling connector-builder-server will stop existing connections from running, nor that it is required at runtime for already-installed connectors.
Because this is not clearly documented, I cannot guarantee the behavior. The safest assumption is:
• You will lose the ability to use the Connector Builder UI and build/edit custom connectors while it is disabled.
• Existing connections may continue to run, but this is not confirmed in the provided sources.
If this behavior is critical, I recommend testing in a non‑production environment by setting:
connector-builder-server:
enabled: false
and observing whether your existing connections still run as expected. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
