Is this due to their Kafka infrastructure being down? Their tweet last night alluded to it.

There are some rumors that it's leap year related. Apparently, it happened 4 years back too

> The outage was not caused by a failure to code for the leap year. We had instability in a part of our infrastructure that allows our systems to communicate with each other.

There Kafka cluster is actually managed by Confluent. I wonder if that has anything to do with the persistent outage
