Just remove all that copilot nonsense and focus on uptime...
I would like to push some code.
GitHub is down again

#112The saddest part to me is that their status update page and twitter are both out of date. I get a full 500 on github.com and yet all I see on their status page is an "incident with pull requests" and "copilot policy propagation delays."
Re: GitHub is down again
#113What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.
Don't listen to the clueless suggesting Gitlab. It's forgejo (not gitea) or tangled, that's it.

#115Damn, I was also trying to push and deploy a critical bug fix that was needed within minutes.
Re: GitHub is down again
#116Well its a day that ends in Y. Github is down so often now, especially actions, I am not sure how so many companies are still relying on them.
Migration costs are a thing
Re: GitHub is down again
#117If you'd have asked me a few years ago if anything could be an existential threat to github's dominance in the tech community I'd have quickly said no. If they don't get their ops house in order, this will go down as an all-time own goal in our industry.
Github lost at least one 9, if not two, since last year's "existential" migration to Azure.
I'm sympathetic to ops issues, and particularly sympathetic to ops issues that are caused by brain-dead corporate mandates, but you don't get to be an infrastructure company and have this uptime record.
It's extra galling that they advertise all the new buzzword laden AI pipeline features while the regular website and actions fail constantly. Academically I know that it's not the same people building those as fixing bugs and running infra, but the leadership is just clearly failing to properly steer the ship here.

#1183 outages in 3 months straight according to their own status history. https://www.githubstatus.com/history
I wonder who left the team recently. Must be someone bagged with shadow knowledge. Or maybe they send devops/devs work to another continent.
I think it's more likely the introduction of the ability to say "fix this for me" to your LLM + "lgtm" PR reviews. That or MS doing their usual thing to acquired products.

They're in the process of moving from "legacy" infra to Azure, so there's a ton of churn happening behind the scenes. That's probably why things keep exploding.
