Am I hallucinating or did they do a "cleanup" of the GH status in their status page? https://www.githubstatus.com/ API Requests with 4 nines of availability?? Issues with 99.96 uptime? PR with 99.61% uptime last 90 days?? https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ marks PRs at 95.89% in the same period as an example.
https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/x69zbgdyfzg0 took three days to resolve and isn't being counted as an outage on the official page.

This has gotten to a point where it doesn't really matter anymore. When a service crosses a certain reliability threshold it's like a phase change. The customer base eventually adapts to the situation. Anyone who still genuinely cares has moved to self hosted enterprise or something else by now. It was most tenuous for me when they almost met the SLA. Now that they've blown so far beyond it, the stress is mostly gone…
I care but I can't move out because it's Orders from Up High which migrated us to Github. We haven't been here a year and it's not worth my neck to mirror our code in some kind of skunkworks forge instance. Woe. Woe is me.
Once again, GitHub is down. Last time an incident happened was 2 days ago [0]. Could not have happened on a worse day (Monday) and you can see how unreliable GitHub has been. Better of self-hosting. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48418183
Anything I'd self-host would be down way more often than github.
Soon we'll have to track when Github is up.

I had checked that page not long ago, and as far as I remember there were many "red" or "orange" days in the past 3 months. Now it's all green. That's concerning

Seems like if they changed the criteria of downtime. If you hover over the individual days you’ll see lot of degraded messages, but still green.

I clicked through wayback machine and couldn’t see any strong indicators that uptime had been rewritten, but there are a lot of snapshots. If you can prove it, I’m interested.
The Google SRE book offers the following as one of the reasons to not gun for 100% reliability (emphasis added): > users typically don’t notice the difference between high reliability and extreme reliability in a service, because the user experience is dominated by less reliable components like the cellular network or the device they are working with . Put simply, a user on a 99% reliable smartphone cannot tell the d…
Github isn't having a debate over how many 9s they have, they're having a zero 9s problem. I think there's 3 big themes with this, thought not 1. LLM tools have added considerable load. 2. LLM used by developers to increase velocity seem to be leading more outages. This calls into question the increased velocity. 3. Roadmaps focused on pushing features that aren't reliability problems. i.e. github moving to azure, or…
Absolutely not. Google has reliability practices so deeply ingrained in their company they’re like an involuntary reflex.
This is a management issue.

The London Underground have been doing it in reverse for a long time. "There is good service on the Piccadilly line."
