I’ve only been getting alerts for GitHub statuses for a month or so now, but it feels like they have an incident like once a week. And it’s to the point where I am actually noticing when they go down at work and in my programming hobbies. Have they always been this rocky, is this a more recent thing, or is it just me?

This is pretty par for course for Github.

We have a slack channel where we dump a number of cloud/service outage RSS feeds into. Github has always dominated that channel.

It might be because I've been using GitHub more frequently in recent months, but I have definitely noticed more disruptions than normal. Our engineering team seems to mention issues almost weekly now, when they used to be fairly rare in the past.

Yeah they were fully down for about 15-20 minutes. I have since been able to push/pull.

They always were this bad with reliability. Sourcehut is much more performant and reliable, and it is what I use when I have the choice.

Actually they were not always this bad. They used to be very rock solid - at least until a few months after Microsoft bought them. Since then their stability has been all over the place. Arguably they also innovated a lot less back then as well.

Ah of course, I never experienced such issues before it was bought by Microsoft.

Man, you’d think getting backed by a massive tech company would increase your stability…
