Atlassian's Bitbucket Cloud faced a major outage, termed "hard down," starting at 1530 UTC on Tuesday, disrupting access to its website and Git hosting services. The downtime was caused by a saturated database impacting all Bitbucket operations, and while the root cause was identified by 1802 UTC, issues persisted, particularly in Pipelines. By 2008 UTC, Atlassian reported that all services were operational, yet continued monitoring was necessary. The outage also affected external services, notably Microsoft's Visual Studio App Center, highlighting the wider impact of the issue on the development ecosystem.
If you were unable to access Atlassian's Bitbucket Cloud today, it's because in the words of the IT giant, the service was "hard down."
We are investigating an issue with [a] saturated Bitbucket database that impacts all Bitbucket operations.
All Git, web, API and Pipelines services are now operational. We are continuing to monitor database and Pipelines reliability.
There are about ten million users of Bitbucket Cloud and it has a strong (and occasionally vocal) amount of support from developers.
