I think it maybe global but at least it is down in US-East (for sure).

#22Down for me as well. Thought my SSH agent was broken.

#23The macho unicorn is kinda dope though.

#25Status page, like usually all green -> https://www.githubstatus.com/
would be better if it's down too :D
Re: GitHub was down
#26for everyone complaining about the status page - status pages are normally operated by hand by design, and will rarely reflect things in real-time.
give the poor github ops folks a second to get things moving.
Re: GitHub was down
#27I've never seen an outage this big. Even the homepage doesn't load. We've had recurrent issues with Actions not running, but this seems a lot bigger. The status page says all is well, though: https://www.githubstatus.com/ . Hilarious.
I wonder why the status just doesn't ping github.com for 200. That seems easy to do.
Re: GitHub was down
#28https://www.githubstatus.com/ reports no problems, but it's clearly down for a lot of people (including me).
It is kinda amazing how consistently status pages show everything fine during a total outage. It's not that hard to connect a status page to end-to-end monitoring statistics...
From my experience this requires a few steps happen first:
- an incident be declared internally to github
- support / incident team submits a new status page entry (with details on service(s) impact(ed))
- incident is worked on internally
- incident fixed
- page updated
- retro posted
Even aws now seems to have some automation for their various services per region. But it doesn't automatically show issues because it could be at the customer level or subset of customers, or subset of customers if they are in region foo in AZ bar, on service version zed vs zed - 1. So they chose not to display issues for subsets.
I do agree it would be nice to have logins for the status page and then get detailed metrics based on customerid or userid. Someone start a company to compete with statuspage.

#30Love that HN is a better status page for dev services than most companies can manage to provide. Knew I'd find it here but on the front page within 3 minutes is impressive.
