Three hundred thirty incidents affected major DevOps platforms in the first half of 2025, increasing both in volume and severity. GitHub logged 109 incidents, a 58% year-over-year rise. Azure DevOps recorded 74 incidents, with Pipelines suffering 31 disruptions and a 159-hour global degradation that slowed builds and deployments for nearly a week. Jira endured more than 2,390 hours of cumulative downtime. Europe accounted for a large share of Azure issues at 34%, while India and Australia each saw about 4%. These disruptions degraded developer velocity, business continuity, and cloud-native operations globally.
The resilience of DevOps platforms is being tested like never before. According to GitProtect.io's just-released DevOps Threats Unwrapped: Mid-Year Report 2025, disruptions across the leading DevOps tools - GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira and Azure DevOps - have grown not only in volume but in severity. The findings paint a stark picture: 330 incidents in the first half of 2025 alone, impacting developer velocity, business continuity, and cloud-native operations across the globe.
Azure DevOps topped the list in terms of the number of unique incidents, with 74 recorded from January through June. Some of these hit multiple components simultaneously, but one part of the platform stood out as the most unreliable: Pipelines, with 31 individual service disruptions - 21% of Azure's total issues. Other areas affected include: The most severe event was a 159-hour global degradation that unfolded in January, significantly slowing down build and deployment processes for nearly a full week.
