AddedUpdatepostmortem#11
Before: not present
After: On March 30, 2026, Quay.io experienced a service disruption affecting image pulls and pushes, caused by an unexpected burst of resource-intensive operations that temporarily overloaded our primary database. Our engineering team mitigated the issue by failing over read traffic, restoring image pull capabilities within 45 minutes, and subsequently restored full push functionality once the database stabilized. We have since implemented enhanced traffic filtering and are actively optimizing our systems to prevent this from happening in the future.

Archive proof

Rewindex commits each version of an incident to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert. That proves these records existed by then and have not been changed since, by anyone, Rewindex included.

How the archive is checked, and what it cannot prove.

Rewindex captured this after the last checkpoint; the next run (00:41 UTC) commits it.

This incident predates live tracking (October 17, 2026). It came from the vendor’s own published history, which is not covered by checkpoints.
