@kapa.ai if I disable connector-builder pod in helm chart deployment does it affect my connections ?

The knowledge sources do not explicitly state what happens to existing connections if you disable the
connector-builder-server
pod via the Helm chart. 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:
Copy code
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.
