I just sent a push to BitBucket, and it seemed to be taking a while, so I figures I'd just grab a quick headline here, and the top story is BitBucket being down. So my timing is good?

Is it just slow for you? What connectivity are you using? For me it's not working at all. SSH says no suitable response from server. I had to merge a branch :(

The uptime for GitHub for 2013 was 99.69%, according to http://www.getapp.com/compare/source-code-management-softwar... . I can't find a stat for BitBucket, does anyone know? I'm considering switiching to GitHub for a private repo I'm currently hosting on BB, due to downtime.

Do they offer unlimited private repos now? That's why I choose BB over GitHub back then. I don't notice them going down often though.

Yeah BB do unlimited private... but GitHub don't. I would pay for GitHub, but unless it's got better uptime there is no point...

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.

You can evuluate by looking at http://status.bitbucket.org/history seems like one outrage almost once a month.

I used to use BB a lot, almost daily, last year. I would occasionally hit one of those "ssh issue" or "outage". The most problematic is BB cannot close issues automatically via commit message on some repositories. Some. It's rather annoying.

If you consider using BB or Github for real product, I advise you host yourself a server running either Gitlab or SCM-Manager (supports git, mercurial, svn) and when you push you should push to your "local" server and the remote server. This way you can still do some remote work during downtime without sending patches around. This is an option if you truly need a backup plan...
