Postmortem—

**Summary** Between 15:31 UTC and 15:55 UTC on October 29th, runs for customers using ARM runners failed to start with the following error message: couldn't start worker: couldn't start docker container: error populating worker binary: unexpected response code when querying for worker binary at [https://downloads.spacelift.io/worker-arm64/752bab1d/spacelift-worker](https://downloads.spacelift.io/worker-arm64/752bab1d/spacelift-worker): 404 **Incident Timeline** * 15:31 UTC - A new deployment of the Spacelift backend was triggered. * 15:45 UTC - We triggered a rollback to the previous version. * 15:50 UTC - The fix began to take effect. * 15:55 UTC - The fix was fully rolled out. **Root Cause** The problem was caused by our build pipeline failing silently to upload that single file. When we triggered a new deployment of the Spacelift backend, new runs switched over to the new worker version and began to fail because the file was missing. **Mitigations** * Immediate: we rolled back to a previous working version. * Permanent: we have updated our deployment pipeline to ensure that it cannot silently fail to upload assets like this in future.
