https://www.githubstatus.com/history 21 incident outages in just 3 months. At this rate the benefits of running your own gitea or gitlab are starting to become competitive.

I’m not sure at what organization that is true. My company lives out of GitHub and Jira and I’ve hardly noticed the three month surge. GitHub would have to do a lot worse to get many companies to want to host their own services. This is the argument people have said about the cloud from day one.

People want to know it isn’t their problem, that makes cloud computing (and things like GitHub) worth their weight in gold. I have real problems to solve I don’t want to deal with a git repo manager on top of that.

Well, I think I have said that since 2020 [0] and it is self-evident that you are better off self-hosting your own Git repo. If you can host a website you can do it. If GNOME, ReactOS, Wireguard, Linux Kernel Project, Mozilla, etc can do it, so can you. Or even use it as a backup / failsafe just in case.

But going 'all in' on GitHub just doesn't make any sense anymore.

If you are a closed org, that is. Running your own gitea or gitlab with registration enabled and having to deal with spam is a real hurdle.

It seems like we haven't had a non-robot status update on the status page in days since this what seems like daily occurrence. I figure at this point we'd get something of why this is happening. I also don't appreciate our builds freezing, unable to be cancelled and then eating up hundreds of minutes.

I've created a new discussion in their feedback repo asking for this, three major outages in a week could really do with a post-mortem: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/13344

Maybe you are in a different time zone because our organization certainly noticed and was disrupted by this.

This has been a pretty rough week for GitHub

Github Enterprise hasn't been faring too well at my work either this week. When you work on both open and closed source products and GH and GHE are both down, it leads to a very unproductive week.

Does GitHub enterprise result in dedicated instance or any better availability?
