> On June 22nd at 8:25 AM UTC, we released a new update designed to reduce the download size of the optimization database.

That's around 4:25 a.m EST. Are updates usually done around this time at other companies? Seems like that's cutting pretty close to the around 8am where a lot of employees start working.

The details of the whole incident sounds pretty terrifying and I am inspired to hear how much pressure their admins were under and got it working again. Good work.

A cdn has a global target, there will be someone starting to work all the time around the world.
They're based in Slovenia, so that was 10:25 AM local time for them.
I am going based off of the map here, Europe and then North America is their biggest market:

Seems like they were updating production during work hours for most people which is pretty odd imo. Usually I would expect them to get this done between midnight and 2-3am.

If you have a global infrastructure with worldwide customer base you'd want to do critical upgrades when everyone's at the office ready to jump at issues.
Is there a reason to assume EST?
I was mostly going based off of their majority market being Europe and North America.
