In the last few days, Bitbucket experienced intermittent database issues which caused the site to become unavailable for several minutes at a time. These outages are far beyond what we consider acceptable as a service provider, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused.
We continue to investigate these database issues and our goal is to resolve these issues permanently as soon as possible. As part of our on-going investigation we will be be making Bitbucket unavailable for up to four hours starting Saturday, June 14, 2014 at 10:00:00 Pacific to make database configuration changes and upgrades.

Thank you for your patience as we work to increase Bitbucket's performance and reliability. Please contact us support@bitbucket.org if you have any questions or concerns.
