"I predict the day when a really major service provider comes out and says; "Sorry everyone. It's been 10 days downtime. We've put our 1000 top engineers on the problem and nobody knows what's wrong. We just can't fix it.""
That day is today: https://confluence.status.atlassian.com/incidents/hf1xxft08nj5 https://confluence.status.atlassian.com/incidents/hf1xxft08n...

- djfobbz 5y agoInsanity at its best! Atlassian annual revenue for 2021 was $2.089B, a 29.42% increase from 2020. Atlassian annual revenue for 2020 was $1.614B, a 33.39% increase from 2019. Atlassian annual revenue for 2019 was $1.21B, a 37.36% increase from 2018.
- dahart 5y agoNah, Atlassian has not given up, and isn’t going to. @nonrandomstring wasn’t referring to incidents that take more than a minute to resolve, they were predicting an incident of such magnitude that a large company shuts down over it. This is definitely not that.
- paulclinger 5y agoI read it differently: the company will not shut down, but abandon attempts to resolve the issue (whether for a product or a set of customers) due to its complexity. Using major in GP's description was to highlight that the company has necessary resources and still can't figure out what's going on.
- dahart 5y agoFair enough, there is a valid more optimistic interpretation than mine. Still, this is not even the case you’re suggesting. Atlassian isn’t abandoning any features or customers here, this case isn’t indicative of anything other than a run of the mill outage that’s taking longer than a day to fix.
- iso1210 5y agoMy Atlassian products have been fine for the last few days, and indeed last few years. I think there was a 1 hour upgrade window a couple of months ago. But then we self-host.
