Global Bitbucket Outage Paralyzes Developer Operations Worldwide

Massive Bitbucket Cloud Outage Disrupts Global Development Operations

Atlassian’s Bitbucket Cloud is experiencing a severe worldwide outage, affecting millions of users and their software development workflows. The popular version control repository hosting service has reported all cloud services are “hard down,” impacting critical operations across its platform.

The outage, which began several hours ago, has affected multiple core services including:
– Website access
– Git operations (SSH and HTTPS)
– Authentication systems
– API functionality
– Pipelines
– Webhooks
– Source code downloads
– Email delivery
– User management
– Purchasing and licensing
– New user signups

According to Atlassian’s status page, the root cause appears to be a saturated Bitbucket database affecting all operations. The company, which serves over 10 million registered users managing 28 million repositories, is actively investigating the issue but has not yet identified a resolution timeline.

The outage has significant implications for development teams worldwide who rely on Bitbucket Cloud for source code management and integration with other Atlassian tools, particularly Jira. DownDetector has recorded hundreds of user reports confirming widespread service disruption across all regions.

Atlassian has promised to provide additional updates as they work to restore services to normal operation.
