/r took me a lot of effort to convince my CTO to move from Bitbucket to Gitlab. Since we have started using it ( 3 + months ), we have experienced more than 4 instances of downtime. If some one from Gitlab is reading this message, please consider a code freeze and spend some time on stabilizing the system. time to add a new backup remote to all our repos.

We are using bitbucket atm and I can't fathom a reason to move, care to elaborate?

  Atlassian is Australian company. Australia has very weird and wide reaching laws regarding software backdoors.

    Can you elaborate on a) what kinds of laws on software backdoors? (Mandating them? Forbidding them? What sort?), and b) how that affects the GP's request? Edit: Nvm on (b); somehow I got GitLab and BitBucket mixed up as to which one belonged to Atlassian. Still curious about what sort of backdoor laws they have.

      I think it's in reference to this from a few years ago: https://www.wired.com/story/australia-encryption-law-global-impact/ https://www.wired.com/story/australia-encryption-law-global-... EDIT: I've done some more reading up on this, and The Assistance and Access Act of 2018 explicitly states that government cannot use backdoors: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/our-portfolios/national-security/lawful-access-telecommunications/data-encryption https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/our-portfolios/natio...

    and better code review experience as compared to Gitlab

    Most of those are either supported by other Atlassian products or not important at all. Why would I care about a web ide?

  I use GitHub and Bitbucket fairly extensively and I find Bitbucket painfully slow at times (eg. 7.38s to load a page just now with a whopping two open pull requests on it, whilst somehow transferring 8.8MB of crap; the equivalent page on GitHub is about 6 times better on both fronts) and the UI only ever seems to get more clunky. I fear the tight integration with JIRA is slowly infecting it with JIRA-esque problems.

Agreed. I use gitlab for administering all of my courses. I started when they had more features compared to github (free private repos, built in test runners), but over time github has regained some but not all of that ground. I will still be using gitlab in the future, but am going to convince our systems admin to set up a local instance.

Run a private instance? We haven't had trouble with that approach.
