Our experience is different. We are using Jira cloud for more than 5 years and I don't even remember the last time an outage has affected our work.
Meanwhile we still have some self-hosted services (like SVN) which has problems relatively frequently which require manual attention from engineer's time. I probably spent more than a week maintaining our self hosted services last year, compared to 0 minutes for the cloud services we use. Not even including that our self-hosted services are probably not very secure since we sometimes forget to do updates on our servers for a long time.
- zozbot234 5y agoWhy is SVN still in use? You can use a tool like reposurgeon to convert your full repo history to git.
- baud147258 5y agoI can't talk for the parent, but in our company, we've made the change hg -> git (using self-hosted bitbucket) and it was quite a costly endeavor time-wise (between testing, configuring and installing BB, converting/moving all the repos, making the changes to our in-house build system, changing all our code signing system (because it wasn't git-compatible) and supporting all the devs who've never used git (or haven't in a long time and forgot everything)), so I can understand not wanting to change what's working.
- ZuLuuuuuu 5y agoWe use git for all software projects, SVN for all hardware projects. I am not certain about the reasons why hardware department still uses SVN. Probably because every hardware engineer is familiar with SVN and it works for them.
