Bitbucket Down - Major Outage
- gurelkaynak 9y agoNow that sysadmin guy who told me: "what happens when bitbucket goes down?" when I asked him to move our repos to the cloud, he is smiling. Sometimes it's best to keep stuff in your own servers, if you have any...
- beberlei 9y agonot that your own servers are up 100% all the time. But the reserve in that case you could be smiling at the sysadmin guy while he scrambles for a fix, he is just happy not being at fault and having to fix it ;-)
- skinnymuch 9y agoWhat about when your server and stuff goes down? Or has a bug or issue that causes downtime or similar issues? Your servers could have better uptime than Bitbucket, but maybe not.
- ajbetteridge 9y agoWe have Bitbucket on our own servers, and we're moving it back to either Atlassian's hosting or to Github. The reason being that we spend far too much time per month hand holding the server when it goes mental and takes all of the RAM and then decides not to server any pages. And it's not for a lack of resources on the server either, 16Gb RAM and 4 core virtual machine, running Linux. So we have more downtime than either Github and Bitbucket combined.
- gurelkaynak 9y agoAny guesses why that happens? It's weird that a git server goes mental just to serve a repo. We had gitlab on my previous job and git server on my preprevious job and never ever had server down problems. This period is like 5 years total.
- Jake232 9y agoInvestigating - Following reports from customers starting at 12:45 UTC, Bitbucket Cloud became unavailable. Our engineering team is currently investigating this issue. We will provide an update as soon as we have further information. Oct 16, 12:56 UTC
- taesu 9y agoOh boy, any git down on a Monday is bad. Imagine being in their office right now.
- rjralgar 9y ago"Minor*"
- exikyut 9y agoI can't access bitbucket.org, so... Edit: / works, repos don't
- rjralgar 9y agoSorry, sarcasm alert. They are showing "We ran into a minor glitch.". I definitely don't agree with their assessment.
- exikyut 9y agoAh, thanks for the clarification :) all good then
- LeifCarrotson 9y agoWhat does work is git clone https://username@bitbucket.org/organization/repo.git so you can probably still get by. Just the website is down.
- Peaker 9y agoAll the various CI systems and scripts with hard-coded SSH-based git access will be hard to change to use HTTPS for just a few hours.
- exikyut 9y agoOh! Interesting, this is good!
- yebyen 9y agoThis doesn't work for me. (Edit: and, it's moot now, because it seems to be coming back up!) I also have 2fa enabled (it's a private team) and my repo is private... I do seem to reach the repo, and it tells me I'll need an app-specific password to proceed. Too bad the interface to create one is down.
- qualitytime 9y agoFirst, my HDMI port blows up and have to work on a small laptop screen. And now I can't access my repositories.. Not happy.
- qualitytime 9y agoDownvote? Even more miserable.
- quuquuquu 9y agoThis is why it is important to keep backups of backups ^.^ EDIT: I upvoted you twice, HN just loves to downvote anything ;)
- yebyen 9y agoWhen you have to painstakingly earn the right to downvote, you just can't feel bad about using it once in a while.
- exikyut 9y agoHi, I've always been curious what the quota/threshold is. My last account (i336_) got to 1000+ (before I accidentally locked it...) and I never saw the downvote button. Is it like 10,000 or something?
- have_faith 9y agoI think I got it around 500~. There could be a manual component to it?
- smudgymcscmudge 9y agoYour user page shows you how much karma you need to hit the next level. In your case, you need 172 to downvote comments. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=exikyut https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=exikyut

- toyg 9y agoThe page shows that git over https is still up, so hopefully it's just a peripheral problem rather than a fundamental one.
- ericfrederich 9y agoI've said it before and I'll say it again... It makes zero sense to centralize something that was meant to be decentralized. We need issues, pull requests, comments, milestones, wiki, etc... all to be decentralized. No reason this stuff cannot be modeled using existing Git objects. GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket are extremely similar. Almost 100% overlap, you could use the lowest common denominator between the 3 and you'd still have 95% of the features.
- exikyut 9y ago1. Businesses need a "halp everything is on fire" button that costs them $1000 a second but will fix EVERY issue, (virtually) guaranteed by SLA. Ultimately that is what these orgs provide; the hosting is kind of almost secondary to that. 2. Actually building real-world implementations of "Issues, pull requests, comments, milestones, wiki, etc..." requires top-tier engineer[ing] time and energy to build and maintain. The current Git-on-steroids-aaS approach provides a very successful way to fund that undeniable cost.
- hobofan 9y ago> No reason this stuff cannot be modeled using existing Git objects. That's the easy part. The hard part is discovery and keeping stuff like teams and moderation when you decentralize it. Advancements in Blockchain-tech, IPFS and similar will make this viable soonish-ly, but I think we are not quite there yet from a technological standpoint.
- sillysaurus3 9y agoHow is blockchain related to this?
- rightos 9y agoDidn't you get the memo? If you stamp enough buzzwords on everything, it magically works, regardless of their relevance to the application.

- exikyut 9y agoOften there's no preservation of past failure states so people can see (for whatever reason) what the failure looked like. Here's what https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/ https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/ (a totally random repository that was in my history) looks right now: http://archive.is/g0I6O http://archive.is/g0I6O

- rsp1984 9y agoGreat. I need to push some stuff real soon now. In the last 12 months Bitbucket had an uncomfortably high number of issues. But whenever I think about moving our company code to GitLab or GitHub I envision going into a world of pain with my eng. team. Has anyone got some advice for pain-free migration to GitLab or GitHub?
- sevensor 9y agoWe moved over to GitLab a couple of weeks ago. We're small, so the calculus is a lot different for us. The migration basically consisted of clicking the import button and making sure everybody's remotes were changed over. We switched because we got tired of Atlassian trying to sell us all of their services all the time. The systems that make a big organization run more smoothly are a drag on a small team, and the more we saw of Atlassian's offerings the less we wanted them.
- zmb_ 9y agoGit isn't centralized so there is no need to "move" the code. You can use Bitbucket, GitLab and GitHub all at the same time -- just add multiple remotes, I do this as a part of my normal setup. You can even pull directly between developer machines without the need for any centralized repository. The tricky part is all the tooling around the code (issues, wikis, CI, etc.), but no matter which provider you use for it, they will have downtime.
- jazoom 9y agoGitLab is way better than Bitbucket IMO but also has way too much downtime.
- fapjacks 9y agoWhy not both?
- fazilakhtar 9y agoIt's back for me.
- exikyut 9y agoWow, that was FAST. It's back for me too!
- fazilakhtar 9y agoSpoke too soon, it's down again.
- zitterbewegung 9y agoIf you have one of these services you should probably invest in a backup system. Either a self hosted Gitlab or even just a clone of your repositories on a server or like AWS CodeConnect .
