Github status is hosted on Github, d'oh. Their Twitter feed posted at 2037Z: "We are experiencing issues due to a DDOS attack, working hard to restore service..." https://twitter.com/github/status/259029493669310464

I don't think the status site is actually on the same infrastructure… maybe it's being DDOSed as well.

Looks like github status is on heroku. It's loading fine for me: > host status.github.com status.github.com is an alias for appid129905herokucom-760859479.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com. appid129905herokucom-760859479.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has address 50.19.101.240 appid129905herokucom-760859479.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has address 50.19.101.216 appid129905herokucom-760859479.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has add…

Yep after the last major outage they switched to Heroku

Ah, my mistake. Some HN story linked to https://github.com/status which was down when I was posting the Twitter status.

Github status: "We've temporarily disabled service on port 80 while we investigate the source of a connection flood. HTTPS, GIT, and SSH service are unaffected."

Great way to keep the git push/pull workflow unaffected.

It appears that their http endpoints are down, but their git endpoints are working fine

EDIT: or not anymore. I was able to push but now I am not.

HN is much slower here as well. Is HN also targeted?

Probably it's only all of us swarming here as GH and YT are down ;)

I think it's probably my fault. Github seems to go down every time I start poking around in someone else's projects.

I just signed up last night and I don't really know what I'm doing yet.

Sorry everyone!
