Right in the middle of a major push to production. Awesome.
Do you and I have a different definition of "production?" GitHub going down impacts your deploys?

#32Why have they gone down so often in the past few months? Is this another DDOS? I've personally wondered about their stack but I imagine that has little to do with that--mostly Ruby though right?
It seems to be MySQL related this time:
"github.com is currently unreachable. We are investigating mysql cluster issues."

#35Exception percentage just got over 100%, new record! (?) http://i57.tinypic.com/4hphtd.png
It is now up to 175% a couple minutes later (and 205% a couple minutes after that). The issue seems to be that it is actually currently more like 10000%, and is being averaged down throughout the month to a mere 100-200%. What is this even measuring?!

If you're using a cloud running test service like Travis CI pushing to GitHub can trigger your whole deployment process starting with running the unit and integration tests.

#37Could Github store mirrors of all repositories on some third-party service, like S3?
Even if they were only updated every 24 hours and had a limited history for each repo, it still seems like it would be a really useful fallback that they could put up when things like this happen.
