Do we really need a new thread every time GH is down for 5 minutes? Also, please use GitLab.

Any Git hosting provider as large as GH is also likely to go down once in a while. The bigger your scale is the more difficult it is to get nines.

I dunno, I'd see it as the opposite. The bigger the scale the more cost effective it is to have more redundancy. I can't remember the last time Google search wasn't working or saw news about it being down.

The fact that github keeps going down while being a huge business shows they still need to work on having more redundancy, something that's expected of big services like theirs.

It's clearly a case of misrepresenting the status as on https://status.github.com/messages

The graph on https://status.github.com/ specifies the app server availability as 95.5017% for the day.

  24*60*(100-95.5071)/100 = 64.69776 minutes

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Being down for the equivalent of 3 days/year isn't great.

you are extrapolating from the one month with down time. there wasn't any last month, or the month before that.

Fair enough, but they didn't have a "year" link

well, a lot of people's work is reliant on it, so i'd say it's a pretty important thing. > Also, please use GitLab. and you can't just say "use xyz".

GitLab is and GitHub is NOT:

- Free

- Open source

- CI integrated

- Rapid development (because open-source)
