Announcing an exciting update to the GitLab.com Container Registry

This post announces a major update to the GitLab.com Container Registry, introducing a new metadata database in Postgres to store metadata instead of the storage backend. This change enables features like storage usage visibility, performance improvements for API and UI list operations, and a redesign of the UI including build and commit metadata for tags built via CI, and search by tag name. The rollout will be phased, starting with newly-created repositories.
