- postmortem Apr 10, 2026, 09:56 PM UTC
### **Dates:** Monday April 7th 2026, ~11:00 – 15:55 UTC ### **What happened:** Some customers experienced 503 errors when running tests via saucectl. The test-composer service was intermittently unavailable, preventing framework-based test execution. ### **Why it happened:** A stale Docker image was deployed to the test-composer service due to a packaging issue that arose during an internal container registry migration. This caused service pods to crash. ### **How we fixed it:** We identified the stale image and redeployed the correct version, restoring the service. ### **What we are doing to prevent it from happening again:** We are hardening our image deployment pipeline and adding validation checks to ensure container registry migrations do not result in stale or incorrect images being deployed to production.
