Other: Idempotency key for connector creation in rest API

Answered
Christian Alexander User

Hi there,

The programmatic creation of connector instances through the API takes anywhere from one to several minutes. If a failure occurs on either side, it can be difficult to determine that the connector was created—potentially leading to duplicate connectors.

If we were able to supply an idempotency key to allow the creation request to be satisfied only once, we could safely retry in the face of failures. This would provide meaningful stability for our system's onboarding at scale.

 

Thank you for your consideration!

    Hi Christian,

    I agree with this, but to prioritize better and understand your requirements, could you provide additional details on how frequently connector creation failures or duplicates occur? Are there specific patterns or environments where this is most problematic? Any examples would help clarify your use case.

    Thanks,
    Jimmy
