Why are they not hosting it on the status.bitbucket.org server? Tt have never been down as far as I know!

status.bitbucket.org is hosted on Statuspage.io. It would be rather silly to host your status page on your main production infrastructure since if it goes down so does your status page. Personally unless you're a major player I think you should always outsource your status page.

Surely its not about outsourcing a status page but just making sure that it is on completely different infrastructure?

So how much does this affect work flow for Git? Doesn't seem like that much of a big deal for small downtime unless I'm hosting a public page or open source project. I, personally, use Bitbucket for the unlimited private repos, makes development easy for me so downtime doesn't affect my team that much since we can pull from each other still.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I doubted that Github would push new (bad) production code mid-day unannounced, and it still happened. To be fair, Github I think pushes new production code several times a day every day?

If you are pushing new configuration at 6am on a Sunday, and things immediately stop working, you revert the configuration change.

I don't think it's that simple, especially if the new bad configuration has already run amok with the machine/data. Backups are a thing, but at that scale, is probably not completely current every minute.

I'm not sure if you're making a joke and/or english is not your first language, but, for the record, I think you're looking for the word "outage", not "outrage".

That's a typo. Thank you. And this has nothing to do whether English is my first or second or third language. I can be completely fluent in English and still have a typo. So next time, just say "you meant outage" is good enough.

You misspelled the word consistently with each usage. I thought you were trying to be funny. So, it wasn't clearly a typo to two distinct readers.

PS - It looks like you edited the second outrage, but not the first.

While I don't have anything smart to say about stuff like this, I'd love to see their postmortem on this one. Would be somewhat hilarious if it's another bad configuration push across their infrastructure. Github has had so many of them and especially with the recent article of the stock brokerage firm going bankrupt due to bad configuration/code push.

I doubt they are pushing new configuration at 6am on a Sunday morning.

I do not know about that. In a lot of environments deployments on the weekend are common, even in full devops/automatic deploy situations.

How do you pull from your team members when hosting site is down?
