Yep, they just need to improve their reliability by 2%! https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/
This page tells a very different story from GitHub own status page. What is different here?

More likely that 'update the Status site' lives a long way down their incident response plan, and they have alarms going off well before that
yeah I mean a company the size of GitHub certainly can’t be expected to have enough staff to walk and chew gum at the same time
I switched to GitLab a while ago and then spun it up locally. Something’s wrong when my own infrastructure is more reliable than Microsoft’s.

Same. It's weird how I always find out that GitHub is down before GitHub does. Took 15 minutes before it appeared on githubstatus.com

Insane, we have to come up with contingency plans now for long-duration GitHub outages because we can't safely do deployments. For a service we're paying thousands of $ per year for even though we host runners ourselves...
You can now hire me as an overpriced consultant instead of paying Microsoft.

All these monitoring rules are of the format "when 500 errors > baseline for x minutes". Otherwise you'd have monitoring alerts every second. So it is normal for users to already see errors before github officially counts it as an outage.
In a high performance service with good maintenance and upkeep, you page for all 500s. A noisy pager forces the team to fix the 500s. Maybe the Github Actions infrastructure isn't run like that. edit: my oncall rotation notified on all 500s, 24/7, not just rates - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48279262

Depending on how many thousands of $ per year, it would probably be cheaper and more reliable to self-host GitLab. It's better in terms of organisational structure (you can have one, including access and secret inheritance), and (personal view) Gitlab-CI is better than GitHub Actions because it doesn't push you towards a JavaScript/NPM style dependency hell. And it's actually fairly easy to self-hosted, with options…
Sounds good until you see their cvedetails page
free service is down again, let's everyone that use the service for free complain again!!! (sorry for the sarcastic comment but i find it crazy how people feel they are entitled when it's free) EDIT: sorry i meant this rant at the one complaining for the free service not for the paid customers (which is unacceptable)
