Bitbucket Down - Major Outage

I&#x27;ve said it before and I&#x27;ll say it again... It makes zero sense to centralize something that was meant to be decentralized.<p>We need issues, pull requests, comments, milestones, wiki, etc... all to be decentralized. No reason this stuff cannot be modeled using existing Git objects.<p>GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket are extremely similar. Almost 100% overlap, you could use the lowest common denominator between the 3 and you&#x27;d still have 95% of the features.

Now that sysadmin guy who told me: &quot;what happens when bitbucket goes down?&quot; when I asked him to move our repos to the cloud, he is smiling. Sometimes it&#x27;s best to keep stuff in your own servers, if you have any...

Oh boy, any git down on a Monday is bad. Imagine being in their office right now.

Great. I need to push some stuff real soon now. In the last 12 months Bitbucket had an uncomfortably high number of issues. But whenever I think about moving our company code to GitLab or GitHub I envision going into a world of pain with my eng. team.<p>Has anyone got some advice for pain-free migration to GitLab or GitHub?

Often there&#x27;s no preservation of past failure states so people can see (for whatever reason) what the failure looked like. Here&#x27;s what <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitbucket.org&#x2F;chromiumembedded&#x2F;cef&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitbucket.org&#x2F;chromiumembedded&#x2F;cef&#x2F;</a> (a totally random repository that was in my history) looks right now: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;g0I6O" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;g0I6O</a>

First, my HDMI port blows up and have to work on a small laptop screen.<p>And now I can&#x27;t access my repositories..<p>Not happy.

Investigating - Following reports from customers starting at 12:45 UTC, Bitbucket Cloud became unavailable. Our engineering team is currently investigating this issue. We will provide an update as soon as we have further information. Oct 16, 12:56 UTC

<i>&quot; Our engineering team has identified the root cause of the issue and a fix has been applied. We are currently verifying that the incident is fully resolved. Oct 16, 13:48 UTC&quot;</i>

The page shows that git over https is still up, so hopefully it&#x27;s just a peripheral problem rather than a fundamental one.

If you have one of these services you should probably invest in a backup system. Either a self hosted Gitlab or even just a clone of your repositories on a server or like AWS CodeConnect .

It&#x27;s back for me.
