#22How reliable is githubstatus.com? I know that status pages are generally not updated until Leadership and/or PR has a chance to approve the changes; is that the case here? Our health check checks against githubstatus.com to verify 'why' there may be a GHA failure and reports it, e.g. Cannot run: repo clone failed — GitHub is reporting issues (Partial System Outage: 'Incident with Copilot and Actions'). No cached mani…
Right now the page says Copilot and Actions are affected but I can't even push anything to a repo from the CLI.
Agreed. I believe that's marked under "Git Operations" and it's all green. Just began being able to push again a minute ago.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean, this isn't a 'URL returned error: 500' situation for anything that Codeberg provides considering this is an issue with Copilot and Actions.
Except actually it was, that was what my git client was reporting trying to run a pull.
I'm going to trust the constant stream of updates from the company itself which shows exactly what went down and came back up rather than a random anecdote.

#24GitHub has been shit lately. What the fuck is going on?
Top-down mandates to use AI as much as possible, and to rip up their infrastructure and move everything to Azure. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/using-ai-is-no-long... https://thenewstack.io/github-will-prioritize-migrating-to-a...
I figured that it would be something like that. But it's been so frequent that I expect the leadership to act decisively towards a long-term reliability plan. Unfortunately they have near monopoly in this space, so I guess there's not enough incentive to fix the situation.

This is very worrying if their mandate doesn't include quality control.

#26In many companies I worked for, there were a bunch of infrastructure astronauts who made everything very complicated in the name of zero downtime and sold them to management as “downtime would kill pur credibility and our businesses ”, and then you have billion dollar companies everyone relies on (GitHub, Cloudflare) who have repeated downtime yet it doesn't seem to affect their business in any way.

The reality is that consumers don't really care about downtime unless it's truly frequent.

> a lot of infrastructure quietly assumes GitHub is always available
Which is really baffling when talking about a service that has at least weekly hicups even when it's not a complete outage.
There's almost 20 outages listed on HN over the past two months: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=githubstatus.com so much for “always available”.

Does anything running on Azure have an acceptable uptime?
