Github has 84.92% uptime in the last 90 days according to https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses I don't know how this is even remotely close to acceptable.

Re: Incident with Issues and Webhooks – Resolved
#82Github has published some incredible usage rate increase numbers, which they ascribe to the rise of agentic coding. At some point, they are going to have to change rate limits, cut free-tier usage, or find some other path to reducing load. It's clear that their infrastructure can't keep up with this significant increase, and it's unlikely that they're going to just absorb the increased costs themselves. Very curious…

It isn't. Lots of unacceptable things going on these days and everyone seems to be accepting them just fine.

#84I haven't seen Friendster-level stability like this in a long time.

IMO that site overcounts downtime. If you filter for major and critical outages (the kind that make the front page of HN), the story is still bad but it’s not 84.92% bad.

#87Is Git decentralized?
Git is, but with GitHub being treated as the golden repo for projects, it becomes the hub of other parts of development, like PRs and CI/CD pipelines.

Re: Incident with Issues and Webhooks – Resolved
#89This is really getting ridiculous - although people sometimes dismiss the "missing" status page because it includes copilot, it's worth noting that pull requests (95.5%) are even lower availability than copilot (96.4%).
How am I expected to comment "LGTM" if I can't even get to the PR?

#90This is reaching an unacceptable level of performance. There isn't a week that work isn't interrupted by GH.
It's been unacceptable for months, but now it's at the level of "we should actively look for alternatives".
Any centralized solution like GitHub is going to suffer the same fate as vibe coding chokes these services. The only option to have high uptime is to self host and most organizations can't do that easily. Time will tell if GitHub can scale up enough to meet demand.
