#62I can't add comments to pull requests("you can't do that right now") and any commits pushed to branches are not updating updating the visible status in the web interface, no are newly created branches showing up. However, if you navigate to a new commit directly with its SHA (so you can share it with someone if you really want), it'll show up (so they're just not being indexed). EDIT: Obligatory "that's what happens…
yes, but does it scale tho ? is it DR ? I mean sure fine it's easy and pretty but there is some operation challenge to figure out,

#63Is that a job of the Microsoft special project team ?

#65I'm really looking forward to the post mortem that comes out of this (if it does). I always learn a lot from reading those.

#66What particular services are down? I noticed I can hit the UI.
For me: can't fork, can't login (tested incognito), can't clone new repos.

#67It's been over 6hrs without update, except the hourly message which states the same.
I'm really looking forward this post mortem, but having been in the situation where I've had to deal with large scale outages like this one, I guarantee some engineers are having a bad time right now, and I feel for them.
Github engineers, if you are reading me (probably not), KEEP IT UP, it happens to the best of us! <3

#68Wonder if GitHub is "too useful to fail" at this point. As in, most people and companies won't switch git repo providers unless GitHub is down for many days at a time during the work week.
Transition to BitBucket or gilab is one click away. Companies surely will move if incentives are there.

#70Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm not sure how you could postulate that they're related
Targeted attacks on specific aspects/assets of a major websites infrastructure? Eg target a specific service that both sites have in common in their back end? Not even sure if that's feasible but it's an idea.
I figured it was just a coincidence, but the HN network is so well informed I thought I'd just ask the question on the off-chance it wasn't.
I personally don't find a relation likely.
