DevOps Platforms Show Cracks: GitHub Incidents Surge 58%, Azure, GitLab and Jira Also Under Pressure
DevOps.com, Friday, August 29th, 2025
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.
If there was any doubt about the fragility of the DevOps ecosystem's backbone, this report lays it to rest. GitHub, the most widely used source code repository in the world, saw a 58% year-over-year increase in incidents. Azure DevOps suffered a 159-hour performance degradation in a single event. Jira, widely used for project and issue tracking, endured more than 2,390 hours of cumulative downtime-nearly 100 full days of disruption.
It's clear: In 2025, the platforms we rely on to build software are showing signs of strain.
