Yep after the last major outage they switched to Heroku

They were already running their status site on Heroku prior to the last major service outage.

It appears that their http endpoints are down, but their git endpoints are working fine EDIT: or not anymore. I was able to push but now I am not.

Was just able to push/pull okay, overall seems like they're dealing with the outage really well. Their status page is really helpful, they were on twitter quickly, and they tried to restore service to people who might need to push/pull to their repos.

This is correct. They needed ~90 dynos to keep up with about 500 qps on their status page in the last outage.

Does anyone know where GitHub is hosted? I assume not AWS because status.github is on heroku (and therefore AWS).

The status site is on heroku/ec2 while the main services are on rackspace. Appears both are being attacked by one very unhappy camper.
