Why Are Event Data Uploads From S3 Failing Due to a Timeout Error?

Problem

A timeout error (504 error response) occurs when attempting to set up a new Simple Storage Service (S3) import.

Cause

The error occurs because the specified folder contains too many files, which exceeds your system's processing capacity.

Solution

Perform the following steps:

  1. Check the number of files
    • Verify the total number of files in the folder causing the issue.
  2. Organize files into separate folders
    • Segregate files into different folders based on their purpose, such as event or user imports. 
  3. Create a new folder
    • Add only the necessary files to the new folder as a workaround.
  4. Remove files after import
    • After the files have been imported successfully, remove them from the folder to prevent future issues.
