Didn't I hear github is moving to Microsoft Azure ? I wonder if these outages are related to the move. Remember hotmail :)
Huh? What were they on before? The acquisition by MSFT is 7 years ago, they maintained their own infrastructure for that long?
Yes they are/were on their own hardware. The outages will only get worse with this move.

#103GitHub 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.
Forgejo, my dudes.

In the early days of GitHub (like before 2010) outages were extremely common.
Not from my recollection. Not like this. BitBucket on the other hand had a several day outage at one point. That one I do recall.
I remember periods of time when GitHub was down every few weeks, my impression is that it's become more stable over the years.

#109We live in a house of cards. I hope that eventually people in power realize this. However, their incentive structures do not seem to be a forcing function for that eventuality.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. What would be a tweak that might improve this situation?
Re: GitHub: Git operation failures
#110I 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…
Github isn't in the same reliability class as the hyperscalars or cloudflare; its comically bad now, to the point that at a previous job we invested in building a readonly cache layer specifically to prevent github outages from bringing our system down.
