Do we really need to be notified every time GitHub or Twitter go down temporarily? It's inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

This is your periodic reminder that deploying directly from Github is a bad plan.

Anyone know what they put at the front of their stack? Nginx? Varnish? HAProxy?

Github seems to attribute every issue initially to a DDoS

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and operate under the impression that they know more about their network than you or I do.

I really need to start monitoring GitHub vrs Bitbucket for uptime. I can't think of the last time Bitbucket was down.

Twitter I don't think so but I feel like the majority of people visiting Hack News use Github in some way. Remote Repo, Deploying, Open Source tools that are hosted on Github.

Maybe just me...

It was down when they changed to a new datacenter[1]. I think github is just a much bigger target right now is why it goes down more often.

Wouldn't that just mean that they're bound to find out that Github is down without needing to see it on the front page of HN?
