Updates to gist are getting lost. It accepts them as normal but the next page load for the gist is the previous version. Twitter accounts describe the same sort of problem for git repos.

status.github.com reports "We're failing over a data storage system in order to restore access to GitHub.com."

Great way to start the week.

Is it just me or is that status message wonky? Failing over something to restore access?

Sounds like an engineer knee deep in diagnosing the issue.

"Failing over" in this context most likely means either migrating to some replica (say doing a dead master mysql promotion) or spinning up some backup storage system to serve master reads/writes.

I can access GitHub.com here (Austin,TX), but it's taking forever.
