Why would Ruby play a role in it? Azure definitely does though. (ex azure employee here )

GitHub itself is written in Ruby.

Classic Github for the past few years we are used to it / resilient now.

You’re being really mean. Do you work for GitHub? Or do you just have a habit of taking things too personally? “i bet you can’t do better!” is not how an adult responds to someone expressing their displeasure at the fact that the performance of a service that they / their org is almost certainly paying for is below their needs / expectations.

Damn right I couldn’t do better. I’m also not the massive highly paid and talented workforce of GitHub. Next time you whinge about your mechanic not fixing your car or your plumber not fixing your toilet, I’ll be right there in your ear calling you a spoilt brat for not just doing it your damn self.

Yea, in Germany it works.

The failure has yet to propagate to Germany, given how slow internet is here.

The status page says it's been resolved 8 minutes ago (Apr 05, 2024 - 08:48 UTC): https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/bnkkbj90yhz6 But it definitely still happens now (500s on refresh on PRs and GitHub actions) Edit: still ongoing Edit 2: still ongoing at Apr 05, 2024 - 08:56 UTC (keeping updated for the record since their status page cannot be trusted apparently) Edit 3: I see they have switched to a different (o…

Status pages can never be trusted.

I always think this should be an incident in itself - why did our status page not reflect the reality of a degraded service? It's so common that they don't, and something user-driven like DownDetector is often more reliable

Already listed as being resolved. A 15 minute outage at 4:30 am EST.

Or 9:30am GMT, so just as europeans are starting to work. Or middle of the working day in India.
