Status page currently says the only issue is notification delays, but I have been getting a lot of Unicorn pages while trying to access PRs. Edit: Looks like they've got a status page up now for PRs, separate from the earlier notifications one: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/smf24rvl67v9 Edit: Now acknowledging issues across GitHub as a whole, not just PRs.
pretty clear that companies like microsoft are actually terrible at engineering, their core products were built 30 years ago. any changes now are generally extremely incremental and quickly rolled back with issue. trying to innovate at github shows just how bad they are.
It's a general curse of anything that becomes successful at a BigCorp. The engineers who build the early versions were folks at the top of their field, and compensated accordingly. Those folks have long since moved on, and the whole thing is maintained by a mix of newcomers and whichever old hands didn't manage to promote out, while the PMs shuffle the UX to justify everyones salary...
Of course they're down while I'm trying to address a "High severity" security bug in Caddy but all I'm getting is a unicorn when loading the report. (Actually there's 3 I'm currently working, but 2 are patched already, still closing the feedback loop though.) I have a 2-hour window right now that is toddler free. I'm worried that the outage will delay the feedback loop with the reporter(s) into tomorrow and ultimatel…
have you considered moving or having at least an alternative? asking as someone using caddy for personal hosting who likes to have their website secure. :)
Not who you're responding to, but my 2 cents: for a popular open-source project reliant on community contributions there is really no alternative. It's similar to social media - we all know it's trash and noxious, but if you're any kind of public figure you have to be there.

I wonder who left the team recently. Must be someone bagged with shadow knowledge. Or maybe they send devops/devs work to another continent.
nah, they're just showing us how to vibecode your way to success
Good thing we have LLM agents now. Before this kind of behavior was tolerable. Now it's pretty easy to switch over to using other providers. The threat of "but it will take them a lot of effort to switch to someone else" is getting less and less every day.
If you'd have asked me a few years ago if anything could be an existential threat to github's dominance in the tech community I'd have quickly said no. If they don't get their ops house in order, this will go down as an all-time own goal in our industry.
Github lost at least one 9, if not two, since last year's "existential" migration to Azure.
What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.
Gitlab.com. CI is super nice and easily self hostable.
Is it really that much better than alternatives to justify these constant outages?
