It does? Do you know git is a dvcs? And therefore you're able to continue working without an internet connection or a service provider being up? It delays the code review process but doesn't break it. I get it that you want it to be 100% up, but let's be serious your FLOSS projects probably break more stuff than GitHub being down does.

How about Issue management?

How often do issues break? And how is waiting a few minutes breaking the process?

> It looks like they are down to a single 9 at this point across all services That's not at all how you measure uptime. The per area measures are cool but the top bar measuring across all services is silly. I'm unsure what they are targeting, seems across the board it's mostly 99.5+ with the exception of Copilot. Just doing math, 3 (independent, which I'm aware they aren't fully) 99.5 services brings you down to an o…

It depends whether the outages are overlapped or not. If the outages are not overlapped then that is indeed how you do it since some of your services being unavailable means your service is not fully available.

There's limits to that type of logic. Otherwise, as long as a single elevator or water fountain in any Google satellite office were out of order, would you consider Google "not fully available"?

In the age of Claude Code et al, my honest biggest bottleneck is GH downtime. I've got a dozen PRs I'm working on, but it's all frozen up, daily, with GH outages. Are the other providers offering much better uptime GitLab, CircleCI, Harness? Saying this as someone that's been GH exclusive sicne 2010.

I think we (CircleCI) are doing quite well: https://status.circleci.com/

What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.

I've been using https://radicle.xyz/ + https://radicle-ci.liw.fi/ (in combination with my own ci adapter for nix flakes) for about half a year now for (almost) all my public and private repos and so far I really like it.

Is the adapter complex? It could be nice to post it on a blog or on the forum.
