Jira is Atlassian's project management and issue tracking platform used by over 65,000 organizations for agile software development, bug tracking, and project planning. Jira supports Scrum boards, Kanban boards, custom workflows, sprint planning, and roadmap visualization. It integrates deeply with Confluence, Bitbucket, and the broader Atlassian ecosystem. Jira Cloud has become the default for most new deployments, while Jira Data Center serves large enterprises requiring on-premises control. The platform tracks millions of issues daily across software, IT, and business teams globally.
Jira Cloud outages typically involve Atlassian's shared cloud infrastructure affecting multiple products simultaneously — Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket may all go down together. Database performance degradation causes slow page loads and timeout errors on boards and backlogs. Search indexing failures make issues unfindable even when the rest of the platform works. API rate limiting during peak hours affects integrations, and webhook delivery delays break automated workflows connecting Jira to CI/CD pipelines.
When Jira goes down, agile development teams lose access to sprint boards, backlogs, and issue assignments. Stand-up meetings cannot reference current sprint progress. Bug triage and prioritization workflows halt. CI/CD integrations that create or update Jira issues fail, breaking release tracking. Project managers lose visibility into team velocity and delivery timelines. For organizations using Jira as their system of record for work items, an outage creates an immediate communication and coordination vacuum.
Use this page to check Jira Cloud availability. Atlassian outages often affect multiple products simultaneously since Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket share infrastructure. Check status.atlassian.com for the official status page with per-product incident details and maintenance schedules.
Jira performance degradation often occurs before a full outage. Slow boards, search timeouts, and API delays indicate infrastructure strain. Check Atlassian's status page for degraded performance advisories. If only your instance is slow, check your Jira Cloud admin panel for any plan limit or usage warnings.
Often yes — Atlassian's cloud products share underlying infrastructure, so a Jira outage frequently coincides with Confluence and Bitbucket disruptions. However, service-specific failures are also possible. Always check status.atlassian.com for the full scope of any incident across all Atlassian products.
Document decisions and bug reports in a temporary location like a shared document or Slack thread. Use your version control commit messages as a lightweight issue tracking backup. Once Jira recovers, create issues from your temporary notes. Set up PinusX monitoring to know the moment Jira comes back online.
Monitor your Jira Cloud instance URL with PinusX Uptime Monitor for free. Get Slack and email alerts within 60 seconds when Jira becomes unreachable. This catches outages faster than Atlassian's own status page updates and lets your team switch to backup coordination tools immediately.
