So is there a general idea for why so many outages?<p>I’ve used GitHub for 10+ years and don’t remember these outages historically. I’m sure there’s more usage now, but usage has been high for a long time.<p>My initial guess is Microsoft monkeying with the tech stack to use inferior solutions from their own stack rather than proper architecture design and evaluation.
The history of GitHub statuses on HN is getting scarier and scarier:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=githubstatus.com" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=githubstatus.com</a>
Again? Last time a serious incident happened was just 11 days ago [0] with reports of actions going down again.<p>Like I said, I expect them to go down once a month guaranteed. But this is like 6 times in one month. Now I expect something in GitHub to go down twice in one month.<p>Not looking good at <i>'going all in'</i> and 'centralizing everything to GitHub' as I predicted [0].<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31023941" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31023941</a>
Definitely wider than they say. I cannot access e.g. <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns</a>, which should be just the homepage of a project.
GitHub has ruined my lunch or dinner time at least once a week or so for the last three months in some capacity. I am absolutely fucked off with it now.<p>Centralising on this infra was a stupid technical decision.
