GitHub Actions and Pages are experiencing degraded availability

Re: GitHub Actions and Pages are experiencing degraded availability
#122Given the recent history of outages, I wonder how many are seriously considering moving off GitHub for anything other than code hosting. I mean actions / workflows.
To offer a data point (not a tribalist argument): GitHub Actions being down this often is still less expensive than the cost of switching everything somewhere else. Would rather have my team walk away from the PRs and do other tasks than have engineering effort, meetings, design pages, scheduling, etc. for switching over. This is annoying and I'm here because it's down. But it would have to be far worse to come close…
We've started writing some new workflows against argo-workflows for the last like 9months or so. Especially for use cases where the actions are like self-service type automation.
I think people were so excited to move away from jenkins to something 'managed' just because of how much a dinosaur jenkins is and how much a pain in the ass it is to upgrade it... but now we are seeing how managed can bite you in the ass if the manager is incompetent.

#123It's been hours :( I have sympathy for the on-call team trying to resolve it, most of us have been there done that. But seems something is systematically going wrong at GH
They're one rewrite in Rust away from fixing everything. (jk)

GHA still beats Circle CI or trying to run your own Jenkins - even with all the downtime. I'd move in a heartbeat if there were good alternatives.

Yeah who knows, would be interesting to hear an inside take if any readers here are also GH devs! They're at 93.91% uptime over the past 90 days, according to https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ , and that doesn't even include today's outage yet. A glorious one nine of reliability.
Don't throw shade, there are two nines in that percentage for now. Miles a part though.
911 has one! :)

I think I agree if you don't have someone dedicated to running and maintaining Jenkins. If you have someone at your org that knows what they are doing though, I'd still take Jenkins over GHA any day.
