It shows you the level of quality to expect from a Microsoft flagship cloud product...

So I work for a devtools vendor (Snyk) and 6 months ago I signed into Azure DevOps for the first time in my life I couldn't believe it. I actually thought the product was broken. Just from a visual perspective it looked like a student project. And then I got to _using_ the damn thing

It's also completely unloved. Even MSFT Azure's own documentation regularly treats it as a second class citizen to GitHub. I have no idea why they don't just deprecate the service and officially feature freeze it.

Honestly that's the case with a lot of Azure services though.

Can someone in GitHub senior leadership please start paying attention and reprioritise towards actually delivering a product that's at least relatively reliable? I moved my company over to GH enterprise last year (from AzDO) and I'm considering moving us away to another vendor altogether as a result of the constant partial outages.

The problem with the GH front end being an unbelievably bloated mess will not be even slightly improved by moving to Azure.

I wonder if GitHub is feeling the crush of fully automated development workflows? Must be a crazy number of commits now to personal repos that will never convert to paid orgs.

This is the real scenario behind the scenes. They are struggling with scale.

How much has the volume increased, from what you know?

You might as well self-host at this point as that is far more reliable than depending on GitHub.

Additionally, there is no CEO of GitHub this time that is going to save us here.

So as I said many years ago [0] in the long term, a better way is to self host or use alternatives such as Codeberg or GitLab which at least you can self host your own.

As an aside, God, Azure DevOps, what a total pile of crap that product is My "favourite" restriction that an Azure DevOps PR description is limited to a pathetic 4000 characters.

You would kind of expect with the pressure of supporting OpenAI and GitHub etc. that Azure would have been whipped into shape by now.

AZDO has been in KTLO maintenance mode for years.

I consider moving away from Github, but I need a solid CI solution, and ideally a container registry as well. Would totally pay for a solution that just works . Any good recommendations?

GitLab can be selfhosted with container based CI and fairly easy to setup CE
