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…

FWIW Microsoft is convinced moving Github to Azure will fix these outages

Everything old is new again.

> We are seeing failures for some git http operations and are investigating It's not just HTTPS, I can't push via SSH either. I'm not convinced it's just "some" operations either; every single one I've tried fails.

A friend of mine was able to get through a few minutes ago, apparently. Everyone else I know is still fatal'ing.

FYI in an emergency you can edit files directly on Github without the need to use git. Edit: ugh... if you rely on GH Actions for workflows though actions/checkout@v4 is also currently experiencing the git issues, so no dice if you depend on that.

Can you create a branch through GitHub UI?

Yes. Just start editing a file and when you hit the "commit changes" button it will ask you what name to use for the branch.

what else is out there like github?

Gitlab, Forgejo, Gitea, Gogs, ... or you can just push to your own VPS over SSH, with or without an HTTP server. We had a good discussion of this last option here three weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45710721

It would be nice if this was actually broken down bit-by-bit after it happened, if only for paying customers of these cloud services.

These companies are supposed to have the top people on site reliability. That these things keep happening and no one really knows why makes me doubt them.

Alternatively,

The takeaway for today: clearly, Man was not meant to have networked, distributed computing resources.

We thought we could gather our knowledge and become omniscient, to be as the Almighty in our faculties.

The folly.

The hubris.

The arrogance.

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...

What a ridiculous comment, as if these outages didn't happen before LLMs became more commonplace.

What a ridiculous comment, as if these outages haven't been increasing in quantity since LLMs became more commonplace
