Quickbase Maintenance

Maintenance is performed on a planned basis to ensure systems are up to date, and on an unplanned basis to respond to incidents or other issues.

2026 Planned Maintenance

• About 4-6 times a year, Quickbase plans ‘downtime’ to perform maintenance such as updating the infrastructure and switching data centers.
• These updates are done on Saturday mornings between 12:10 AM through 2:00 AM EST.
  • Please Note: From our experience here at Quandary Consulting Group, planned maintenance downtimes are typically finished well before 2:00 AM EST.
• These maintenance windows almost always involve downtime for the platform.
• Downtime windows are always determined by the lowest points of volume.
• For more information about how Quickbase announces and manages Planned Maintenances (with included downtime windows), please visit Quickbase Service Page
• a notice to subscribers of the service page if the defect is impacting a significant percentage of customers, typically classified as more than 20%.

Unplanned Quickbase Downtime

• Unplanned downtime or unplanned degradation in functionality or performance is announced on our service page as the incident happens.
• Quickbase will trigger a notice to all subscribers of their service page if the incident is impacting a significant percentage of customers, typically classified as more than 20%

Emergency Quickbase Maintenance

• Emergency maintenance is performed as necessary to address issues outside of the control of Quickbase
• These updates are done whenever needed to protect the stability and security of the platform.
  • Please Note: From our experience, here at Quandary Consulting Group, Quickbase does try to make every effort to execute Emergency Quickbase Maintenance during periods that have been identified as ‘lower platform’ usage.
• Depending on the incident, emergency maintenance may or may not require downtime.
• Quickbase will announce these maintenance windows on their service page as soon as possible.
• In the past, Quickbase will sometimes trigger a notice for non-downtime emergency maintenance if they believe there is substantial risk(s) to customer facing impact, e.g., customers seeing brief instances of errors or performance being degraded.

Please Note: For customer facing defects or incidents, or for upcoming maintenance activity that only impacts one or a very small number of customers, we typically rely on direct communication to the impacted customers, either via cases those customers have opened with Technical Support, or through a direct e-mail and/or phone call to the applicable customer contacts (e.g., your Quandary Consulting Group Solution Consultant, designated Account or Realm Company Admin, etc.).

Quickbase Service Page

Quickbase will use their Quickbase Service Page as the main method to communicate current and future updates, maintenance activity, and/or any incidents that impact the platform.

Quickbase encourages the use of their Quickbase Service Page as the first place to look to learn more about scheduled maintenances or if they suspect an incident is occurring on the platform.

Quickbase Uptime and Why is it Important?

Uptime is the measure of time a digital system (e.g., website, server, or in the case of Quickbase, this means, the application) is operational and accessible.

Uptime is a critical metric for businesses, especially for a cloud-based platform like Quickbase which is used to manage operations, workflows, and critical data; all of which needs to be accessible in real-time (24/7) to keep business contiguity optimal.

This is important to both Quickbase and their customers because, ‘Downtime’, means lost revenue, damaged reputation, lower productivity, and an overall poor customer experience.

How does Quickbase Calculates Uptime?

By default, the Quickbase Service Page displays the total uptime for the last 90 days.

• This is calculated based on the total amount of time the Quickbase platform is available - excluding incidents outside of the control of Quickbase.

In other words, for unplanned Downtime, Quickbase considers the source of the Downtime when calculating the platform's availability. If the source of the Downtime is within their control, the incident is included in Quickbase’s Uptime availability calculation.

• If the incident is not within the control of Quickbase (or one of our subprocessors or subcontractors), Quickbase will not include the incident in the Uptime availability calculation. This is common practice for Internet sites that track and report their Uptime/Downtown platform availability.
  • Please Note: It can (and has) sometimes taken a week or more for Quickbase to determine the root cause of an incident. Until the root cause has been identified, Quickbase will exclude a Downtime incident from their Uptime availability calculation. In addition, if Quickbase does ultimately conclude the root cause was within the control of Quickbase (or one of their subprocessors or subcontractors) than any Downtime will immediately be reflected in the Uptime calculation.

You can view Uptime history for Quickbase in various time intervals (see complete list below) during the current and previous year via Quickbase Uptime page that can be found on Quickbase Service Page.

Quickbase Uptime history can be viewed by in the following time intervals:

• This Week
• This Month
• This Year (YTD)
• Last Week
• Last Month
• Last Year
• Last 7 Days
• Last 30 Days
• Last 60 Days
  • Or you can select a ‘Custom Date Range period of your choice that falls between the current year through the previous calendar year.
    • e.g., January 13, 2025 (Last Year) to January 13, 2026 (This Year).

What is Uptime, how is it Calculated, and why is it Important?

Uptime is the measure of time a digital system (e.g., website, server, or in the case of Quickbase, this means, the application) is operational and accessible.

Uptime is a critical metric for businesses, especially for a cloud-based platform like Quickbase which is used to manage operations, workflows, and critical data; all of which must be accessible in real-time (24/7) to keep business contiguity optimal.

This is important to both Quickbase and their customers because, ‘Downtime’, can translates to lost revenue, damaged reputation, lower productivity, and an overall poor customer experience.

Quickbase targets an average annual uptime of 99.9%, aiming for high reliability through geographically diverse hosting, data replication, and continuous monitoring.

This 99.9% target translates to approximately 8 hours and 45 minutes of ‘allowable’ downtime per year.

• In our experience, Quickbase has continuously done a remarkable job, year-over- year, at maintaining their Uptime, at a minimum of 99.9%, often reaching 100% Uptime for significant periods, with planned maintenance(s) announced well in advanced.

Monitoring Quickbase Uptime stats is very easy and is always available in real-time via Quickbase Uptime.
