Bitbucket has been offering me free private repos for years, and it's basically never been down. It integrates perfectly in everything I use in my workflow, while sheltering itself from the hype train and avoiding providing useless features just because they are cool. Hands down one of the best products out there. My 2 cents!
Oh, I beg to disagree. The last 8 months have been much better, but in 2015-2017 it was like 3-5x per year that I had to tell my boss that we can't deploy because Bitbucket wasn't triggering the CI server.
edit: come to think of it, I switched timezones from California to Asia. I haven't run into as many problems because no one is awake to break something :).
We keep an ifttt webhook into this page, very helpful to resolve the WTF chorus when something is busted. Props to Atlassian for transparency: please keep this going.
We use confluence, bb, and jira. The good news is that triad is very nicely integrated: you can easily crosslink issues between them. There is definitely room for improvement on uptimes though.
As I said in my original comment, the performance issues and downtimes we experience are just not present on the status page.
As one data point, several weeks ago it would take BitBucket over 70 seconds to respond to a `git ls-remote` with a repo containing about 200 branches. Usually this takes ~10 seconds or so, but it caused all kinds of headaches with Jenkins. On top of this pushes where incredibly slow.
They definitely need more alerts pertaining to slow API responses on the git interfaces. I still give them props for usually fessing up to outages. Some places (cough aws) will be out for hours before they admit to it -- not gaming any numbers, nope never.
