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.

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 h…

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".

On the status page, click on “Month”, at the right of “System Metrics”. It gives the uptime for the current month only, unfortunately. So for April, it was 99.816%.

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.

Maybe. They have been working on migrating some of the repositories over to new hardware lately.

I would also like to point out (as a heavy user of both platforms) that BitBucket has outages that do not 'register' as an outage.

There are issues like hanging on pull requests/merges at random or not loading the diff.

Frustrating.

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.

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 :(

They had warned that there were updates happening last week; I think this is the after-effect of that.

It's a perfectly viable option to use both.

It makes sense to choose one as your primary to meet your workflows, but having both means work can continue when one has an outage.

You can even automate pushing/updating commits to whichever you choose to be the secondary.

(Or of course you can setup your own git server for a third backup in case the internet explodes).

A firm going bankrupt due to a bad code/config? Do you have a link to the article you're referring to? Sounds interesting...

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