Earlier quoted context omitted.

My money is on some significant backend architecture migration gone wrong without a viable way to roll back the time machine :)

Feels like an organization as big as Microsoft must surely have some sort contingency plan in place before doing such a large migration. Right?

Sales handing out Office365 discounts and trying to convince people that AWS and GCP is going to steal their data, judging by companies I worked for that used Azure.

What is going on over there? Third day in a row is... kind of impressive.

At that point, I wondering if that's not me just because I updated some libraries on my local build agent.

Anecdotal - I've been using Gitlab for a few years on some projects, and haven't experienced any downtime issues with them of this magnitude.

Yeah, Gitlab has had its share of downtime. Github has had shockingly little until the last year or two. These things come and go.

Of course, if this continues happening it may be time for the OSS community seriously consider migrating en masse.

They blamed the march and april outages on some database query that was changed due to an infrastructure change they rolled out. I'm guessing their infrastructure change caused some other race condition issue that they are only seeing after major production failure due to not load testing enough in their staging environment https://github.blog/2023-05-03-github-availability-report-ap...

Does anyone host their own git repos in an enterprise environment? How do you do it and what are some good resources for learning how to do this?

Yes, primary on Gerrit, backup replica to $wherever. Bonus: actually usable code review platform.

I'm considering host a gitea instance backup all of my repos. I have an important fix that need to be deployed right now but there is no way to deploy it in a normal way with our CI which one was setup with Github Action. Fortunately I have a instruction to bypass CI and build the source by myself. But again, Github defeat me because our release workflows are depend on GitOps which are effected by Github issue. Ahhhh…

Gitea's ability to create a local repository as mirror of a remote repository is great for this. You can stay on Github and have your code regularly mirrored locally.

If only Git had this sort of functionality built in…
