Anyone noticing GitHub reliability issues? (www.githubstatus.com)

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.

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.

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

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…
