This article was written by experts from Amoeboids. 84% of developers currently use or intend to use AI in their daily workflows, showing that AI is no longer optional; it is necessary. Yet, one area still stuck in the manual era is release communication. Release notes, once a simple wrap-up task, are now struggling to keep up with weekly and daily deployments.

Atlassian’s Backup and Restore feature has recently transitioned from Open Beta (Atlassian BRIE backup) to General Availability (GA), marking an important step forward in SaaS data protection. The solution introduces native app-level backups for Jira and provides organizations with a built-in mechanism to respond to customer-owned disasters such as accidental deletions or configuration errors.

The assumption that you’re ‘too big to fail’ or ‘too small to get noticed’ simply doesn’t hold water anymore. The year 2025 showed us once again that even the largest names on the market are not invincible. The same is true for any company that depends on their infrastructures. Without a real Plan B, your business’s reliance on cloud tech giants might be risky.

Outages recently disrupted 46% of organizations just in 2025, yet 47% of executives still rate their resilience as high, according to a SAS report. In other words, despite nearly half the industry facing service failures, almost half still believe they’ve solved the problem. It seems surprising. The more so in times when a single outage or vendor lock-in can halt all operations on a given platform.

Table of contents: hide Azure Devops is a popular CI/CD platform utilized by software development teams. The core use includes source code hosting, CI/CD, project management, test managements and dependency management. Given the extensive capabilities of Azure DevOps, the attack vector for cyber criminals is also bigger – putting more pressure on securing sensitive data. With the growth of sophisticated cyber attacks – cyber security must also be re-evaluated and properly addressed.

We’ve done it — Jira Granular Backup is now live in GitProtect! And that’s not all. The GitProtect 2.1.0 release also introduces backup & restore for Azure DevOps Artifacts, expands protection coverage for GitHub Projects by draft issues, and brings a whole set of improvements across the platform. Let’s break down what’s new and why it matters for DevOps and Jira Admins.

When it comes to disaster recovery and backup plans, understanding the RPO and RTO is crucial as these two critical metrics help signal the level of your overall data security. In short, Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) play a critical role in determining how quickly and effectively an organization can bounce back from an IT disaster, safeguarding business continuity, and minimizing potential data and financial losses.

DevOps teams did not sign up to be security teams. But if you run repos, CI/CD, cloud roles, SaaS apps, integrations, or backups, you operate the systems attackers lean on. Most breaches are not flashy. They start with routine failures: a token left in a repo, MFA not enforced, an overprivileged API key that never expires, or backups that are deletable by the same admin identity. Attackers do not need to “break in” if they can log in.
