David from the Atlassian SRE team here. AWS Direct Connect is experiencing an outage in their US East Region: <a href="https://status.aws.amazon.com" rel="nofollow">https://status.aws.amazon.com</a>, which is causing connectivity issues for most Atlassian products and services. We're working hard to get everything back up and running. Please check <a href="http://status.atlassian.com" rel="nofollow">http://status.atlassian.com</a> for the latest updates. We're posting regularly and will continue to provide updates there.
Another ongoing discussion: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16501731" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16501731</a><p>Hosted JIRA is down too (at least for me).<p>Interestingly, I can seem to be able to find it only via search, it doesn't show up on the frontpage at all.
XaaS has many benefits, but uptime is not one of them anymore. I self-host my repos, had a few downtimes but thanks to this DDoS my local services have better uptime. ( Disclaimer: I know it's not apple to apple comparison as scale is massively different)
This is the last straw for me. I'm gonna stop using them to host my code. They have been down way too many times in the last year. It's been six failures from them in the last two weeks alone. I'm gonna self host Gitea to fix my issues. I cannot believe that they fail so hard. Why does a failure mean that I cannot read AND write from BitBucket ? Why are those two things even related ?
Appears to be due to an upstream dependency:<p>> Some component services are currently unreachable due to an upstream incident on a cloud provider. We're attempting to route as much traffic as possible away from the affected components, and are working with our vendor now.
