Gitlab.com. CI is super nice and easily self hostable.
I heard that it's hard to maintain self-hosted Gitlab instances
Is it really that much better than alternatives to justify these constant outages?

Github lost at least one 9, if not two, since last year's "existential" migration to Azure.
Is there any reason why Github needs 99.99% uptime? You can continue working with your local repo.

Lots of teams embraced actions to run their CI/CD, and GitHub reviews as part of their merge process. And copilot. Basically their SOC2 (or whatever) says they have to use GitHub. I’m guessing they’re regretting it.
Our SOC2 doesn't specify GitHub by name, but it does require we maintain a record of each PR having been reviewed.
I guess in extremis we could email each other patch diffs, and CC the guy responsible for the audit process with the approval...

They're in the process of moving from "legacy" infra to Azure, so there's a ton of churn happening behind the scenes. That's probably why things keep exploding.
I don't know jack about shit here, but genuinely: why migrate a live production system piecewise? Wouldn't it be far more sane to start building a shadow copy on Azure and let that blow up in isolation while real users keep using the real service on """legacy""" systems that still work?

You know what I think would reverse the trend? More vibe coding!
I know you are joking but I'm sure that there is at least one director or VP inside GitHub pushing a new salvation project that must use AI to solve all the problems, when actually the most likely reason is engineers are drawing in tech debt.
What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.
It's pretty nice if you don't mind it being some of the heaviest software you've ever seen.
I also tried gitea, but uninstalled it when I encountered nonsense restrictions with the rationale "that's how GitHub does it". It was okay, pretty lightweight, but locking out features purely because "that's what GitHub does" was just utterly unacceptable to me.
