Back in July I published Encountering some turbulence on Bitbucket's journey to a new platform, sharing with the public for the first time that Bitbucket Cloud is in the final stages of a migration from our data center onto Atlassian's cloud platform—the same internal platform underlying Jira Cloud, Confluence Cloud, Statuspage, and many other internal services. I also shared that because of increased file system latency as a result of this platform move, certain operations have become slower.

You've always been able to execute CI/CD workflows via Bitbucket Pipelines using Atlassian's infrastructure. This is the easiest way to use Bitbucket Pipelines because you don't need to host or manage any servers. We host it and manage it for you. But sometimes you need more control of your hardware, software, and the environment your builds are executed into.

The past week has been a turbulent time for Bitbucket Cloud's engineering and support teams as well as our customers. Some of you have expressed concern regarding our services’ performance and reliability in recent days. Fortunately, for the majority of Bitbucket users, our services have continued to perform smoothly. But given the number of developers who use Bitbucket daily, even a small percentage of our active users represents a lot of people.
