It started as yellow with a handful of services with "Degraded performances" and it's all services red with "Major Outage" now.

"Hard down" such a strong term

  Right? Surprised that Atlassian is using it.
  - brimstedt 2y ago
    Why? It seems to go along well with the rest of their services. Slow, feature incomplete.. Just look at Jira, Confluence, etc. We use the atlassian products at work and are planning to replace Bitbucket with Gitlab within short.

      I don't disagree. I just don't expect a vendor to use the phrase "down hard" to describe their own outage!

      What will you replace Jira with, out of interest?

        That i dont know yet, and id love to hear suggestions.

I'm surprised how little attention Bitbucket-related stories get here. We use it at my work, and it seems to do the job, but I rarely hear about it in the dev community compared to GitHub. Is GitHub just that much more dominant, or am I missing something?

  Agreed. It isn't as widely used as GitHub, but still feel it is used widely enough that more coverage would make sense.

  We use it at work, but I get the impression it is not very widely used. The only project I can think of off the top of my head that uses it is Lucee. I, personally, feel like it's a terrible name for a VCS hosting service, because traditionally the "bitbucket" is a trash can where we dump garbage data...

  I noticed because both of my current customers are using Bitbucket and a git push got slow and eventually returned an HTML page. When I asked my customers why they are using Bitbucket instead of GitHub both of them told me because of that period of time (probably in the mid 10s) when Bitbucket allowed few developers and infinite private projects and GitHub did the opposite: infinite developers and limited private projects. They have more projects than developers so migrated to Bitbucket and are still there. One of them uses other tools from Atlassian.

    That's exactly why we used it, mid 2010s startup. Unfortunately too much inertia to migrate since. It was free under 5 developers, private repos. github required a subscription to make your repos private.

Everything is currently listed as operational.
