Outages And Security Threats In DevOps Tooling: Cracks In The Foundation
devops.com, September 16,2025
DevOps has always been about speed and trust. Speed in how we deliver, trust in the pipelines and platforms that make it all possible. But what happens when those very pipelines - and the tools behind them - start to falter?

From GitHub outages that ripple across the globe to vulnerabilities in Jira and supply chain compromises in CI/CD pipelines, incidents are piling up.
These aren't isolated inconveniences. They are systemic risks. And they raise a critical question: Is the DevOps foundation we've built over the last decade starting to crumble?
