In our experience, BitBucket had a lot of issues the past year or so, mainly with Pipelines & hooks frequently being down (daily at some point for more than an hour at a time). They recently seem to have solved this issue - but I sometimes still have to wait a minute or 2 before a pipeline is started or merge is completed, quite frustrating. We're considering a switch to GitHub.

Ps. Interesting how a post from 1 hour ago with 4 points has managed to appear on the frontpage. Has HN changed their algorithm?

I'd recommend trying GitLab out a bit. It has a lot of cool features for multirepo companies like deployment integrations.

Self hosting isn't too bad if you want to try out the more advanced stuff.

Amen.

GitLab: every thing but each thing is just okay

GitHub: some things but each thing is great

GL is pretty great at the following: cost, permissions and CICD.

The pricing has changed recently, grandfathered in organisations have reasonable pricing (relative to GitHub) but the pricing for new organisations is much more expensive than GitHub. You can compare GitLab on features, but if you want to use those features the pricing is not comparable (GitLab's $100/user/m vs. GitHub's $21/user/m).

GitLab ultimate is a Jira competitor, not a GitHub competitor.

GitLab Premium is ($19/month + runners + [optional] self hosting) vs ($21/month + possibly leaking your code/secrets in copilot).

And, in my opinion, GitLab CI has a much better feature set and integration than GitHub's. You have so much opportunity to optimize the performance of your runners just off the bat. It's quite amazing especially for people with larger repos (ex: monorepo companies).

I would strongly disagree that github's code review features are "great".

Better than both GitLab and BitBucket.

GitLab's feature set is similar if you fork over a few truck loads of money.

Not convinced - their review discussions, even on paid for editions are still worse.

Indeed, we moved from Bitbucket to Github and haven't looked back. I'm not huge fan of how GH deals with PR conversations, but that's a small thing.

We are finally migrating to Bitbucket from Clearcase. Real sympathies should be for whoever is still stuck using Clearcase
