I have a serious question, not trying to start a flame war. A. Are these major issues with cloud/SaaS tools becoming more common, or is it just that they get a lot more coverage now? It seems like we see major issues across AWS, GCP, Azure, Github, etc. at least monthly now and I don't remember that being the case in the past. B. If it's becoming more common, what are the reasons? I can think of a few, but I don't kn…

Been on GitHub for a long time. It feels like they're more often. It used to be yearly if at all that GitHub was noticably impacted. Now it's monthly, and recently, seemingly weekly.

I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't push changes but now it seems it's time to just call it for the day. Back at it tomorrow.

same, i've started pulling my hair out, was about to nuke my setup and set it up all from scratch

lol same. Hilarious when this shit goes down that we all rely on like running water. I'm assuming GitHub was hacked by the NSA because someone uploaded "the UFO files" or sth.

Obviously just speculation, but maybe don't let AI write your code... Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company’s code was written by AI https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/29/microsoft-ceo-says-up-to-3...

It's degraded availability of Git operations.

The enterprise cloud in EU, US, and Australia has no issues.

If you look at the incident history disruptions happen often in the public cloud for years already. Before AI wrote code for them.

One possibility is increased monitoring. In the past, issues that happened weren't reported because they went under the radar. Whereas now, those same issues which only impact a small percentage of users would still result in a status update and postmortem. But take this with a grain of salt because it's just a theory and doesn't reflect any actual data.

A lot of people are pointing to AI vibe coding as the cause, but I think more often than not, incidents happen due to poor maintenance of legacy code. But I guess this may be changing soon as AI written code starts to become "legacy" faster than regular code.

GitHub is pretty easily the most unreliable service I've used in the past five years. Is GitLab better in this regard? At this point my trust in GitHub is essentially zero - they don't deserve my money any longer.

You can make it as reliable as you want by hosting it on prem.

Been on GitHub for a long time. It feels like they're more often. It used to be yearly if at all that GitHub was noticably impacted. Now it's monthly, and recently, seemingly weekly.

In the early days of GitHub (like before 2010) outages were extremely common.
