Did a similar thing happen (minus the new product going away) in the Stash to Bitbucket transition? I also wonder how many people are not moving to Bitbucket Cloud when Server and Data Center are discontinued. Gitlab is still available to be self-hosted with full support.
- pram 4y agoStash and Bitbucket “cloud” were completely different codebases. It was kind of a unique case. The HipChat “server” was just a weird fork of the “cloud” version. JIRA and Confluent cloud started off as containerized versions of their on-prem versions. Then they did a big rewrite to make them actually multi-tenant. I haven’t been keeping up but Stash was definitely not the priority at the time.
- cestith 4y agoBitbucket Cloud wasn't the immediate successor to Stash, though. There have been Bitbucker Server and Bitbucket DC or whatever they're called for years between the retiring of Stash and the retiring of the on-prem solutions. Where I am we already made the transition from Stash to Bitbucket on-prem (not too long after leaving Gitorious for Stash). When our executives heard "cloud VCS", we bought Gitlab licenses and are moving to that. We also left HipChat for Slack shortly after leaving our own OpenFire server for HipChat. We recently left JSM for Zendesk because it apparently is way easier to get quality statistics out of it. We have shadow IT programs all over the company using something other than Jira even though that's the standard the company provides. We're moving from on-prem Confluence to cloud, but there are still many grumbles about it vs something as simple as FOSWiki or MediaWiki.
- a_e_k 4y agoBitbucket lost me when they dropped Mercurial support. If I've got to move to Git, anyway, why should I stick with them?
