#4Not even sure how to talk about this anymore with how frequently this has gone down.
Our company uses GitHub actions and other features for deployments so every one of these outages stops us from putting any work on production.

#5Attacks or incompetence? Hello Microsoft executives, we would like some transparency.
I think this is still the latest they've written: https://github.blog/2022-03-23-an-update-on-recent-service-d...
Was discussed on HN too last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30783051

#6I'm glad we have a self-hosted Gitlab. Sure you need to do a bit of setup and configuration, but it's worth in the long run.

#7Again? Last time this happened was 4 days ago as I also said:
>>> Hopefully GitHub won't have another outage in a week's (or even a months) time. [0]
Yet another incident less than a week / 4 days later with GitHub Actions if one was to go 'all in' on GitHub. Would have to reset the counter once again.
You can see in the whole comment chain [0] and in [1] why I was totally right in the 'long term' of not 'centralizing everything' on GitHub since 2020. [1]

#8I had a lot of issues with GitHub actions failing yesterday (the infamous "Request failed with status code 502"), but there were no service issues listed on their status page. It just started working late yesterday and seems to be fine today though.

Doesn't it cause more headaches?
I've had experiences where devops minded people I've worked with have wanted to self-host services such as Bitwarden. Sure, it will be cheaper and you will have noone to blame but yourself, but once things go bad they go really bad. It's also another thing to keep eyes on.
I guess similar argument could also be extended to self-hosted clouds. Seems like it could take away a lot of focus and energy from working on the product itself.
