5 hours going now and the entire thing is still completely down. This level of incompetence and their total disrespect for their customers is unbelievable.

Yeah, I think this one might be the straw that broke the camel's back and our team will look to migrate to something non-microsoft to be away from this nonsense.

they walked that back for now at least - self-hosted gh runners are still free: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/concepts/product-billing/...

Well, they're still implemented that way.

Do you have a source for this?

It'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

"most of us have been there done that" - so true. That feeling in your gut when you realize something you just did caused an outage is pretty unique.

I don't think so. GitHub was bought by Microsoft 8 years ago and people have only started complaining about its uptime in the last year or so - exactly correlating with the surge in LLM use.

https://damrnelson.github.io/github-historical-uptime/ Seems pretty conclusive. Very similar story when they bought skype.

God that's sad. I almost feel bad for all the engineers there, though I'm sure they made good money and probably left

Didn't github also migrate at azure recently? That certainly can't help.

To me this correlates more to them being bought by Microsoft, a company known for being seemingly incapable of creating quality software to the point that it's not even funny anymore, and also known for sloppifying all the products they touch.

Isnt it also in the past year when they started to move Github fully to microsoft infra? Off whatever they were doing before
