Bitucket is down (again)

We've got the same problem here, if our system goes down, we won't be able to deploy.

My workflows are dependent on bitbucket for deploys. I could work around if I needed to, since I keep other copies of the repos. NORMALLY. Today's different though: I just happened to be in the middle of migrating from one server to another. I practiced the procedure last week and got my notes perfected on how to do it. Of course, those notes are on bitbucket, unavailable...

Lesson learned! I'll make sure that bitbucket's never the only place that something resides, from now on...

Our deploy doesn't depend on bitbucket, but we heavily use pull requests, and code reviews are made directly on bitbucket. When bitbucket is down there's no collaboration between our dev team.

Is doing this against policy or encouraged? I don't see it mentioned here^1, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
