Business idea: github hosting failover. You'd probably need a modified git client, but if you can't push/pull/whatever from github, it transparently fails over to your service which will sync up with github once they've recovered. Even better idea: github should stop failing.
A bit weird. GitHub says they fixed it, but on the other hand CircleCI still considers it as an outage : > Monitoring > May 31, 2017 3:08 PM > GitHub have declared the outage resolved and we are starting to see incoming GitHub hooks.

Serious Question: is there enough people that would pay for that 0.4% to support a business?
As others have said, Github's postmortems are always great. But frankly, I'd rather they have better uptime. Every couple months is too much. I pay them. My work pays them. If their CEO is serious about zero downtime, how about he offers his paying customers a credit for time they cannot access the service?
My problem with a credit is that it never even comes close to what I'm losing in income. An ISP is an excellent example. I might get a $10 credit for 24 hours of downtime. I'm charging slightly more per hour than that... /s Maybe switch to bitbucket or other competition for a while?
Eg, if your Internet costs $100/mo, but you'd lose $100/hour when it's down during business hours, buy a fallback connection from a competing ISP. ;)

Do you have any evidence that Github does any better?
They haven't lost my data so far and they had to restore the production database at least once in their history. All circumstantial, but we'll have to wait and see.

Message queues and eventual consistency. Unless your request requires something "atomicy", 200/201 response should be a sign of "got the message, will get to work on it when we can".
201 is "request has been fulfilled, resource has been created". It is explicitly not "we will get to it when we can". You are thinking of 202, "request has been accepted for processing", for asynchronous request processing.
Http response status codes rarely align with RFC guidelines.

Gitlab does not have features parity with Github. I personally also stumbled upon a bizzare bug that doesn't allow a friend to add me to any of his private repo's. Asked on IRC and nothing much came of it unfortunately.
Hiya, Which features would you like to see in GitLab? We'd love to talk about it. You could also open a feature proposal issues in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues .
