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.
