Just noticed issues with Github handling requests and overall flakiness.
Getting a lot of status code 500 errors and decided to open this thread for status updates.
Even though the status page (<a href="https://www.githubstatus.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.githubstatus.com/</a>) shows no issues, I'm still getting the occasional 500. It seems to be happening quite irregularly. They are possibly facing a lot of load.
Been running into many unicorns for the last few minutes, had a moment where it came back but seems to be down again. Even the unicorn image won't load on the unicorn page.
I haven't pushed to GitHub in over a year. Now I'm setting up a new page on github.io with a new repo and GitHub goes 500 just when I try to push.<p>Those GitHub badges... they are as ugly as it gets.
Yep, noticed it with comments on an issue (had timeouts while submitting but it eventually went through).<p>Now 30 mins later, i've refreshed the issue and see that my reply and the comment I was replying too (by another user) are both gone. Hopefully, it's eventually consistent and these comments will re-appear later.
Still getting this same error for past 10-12 hours. Tried in different times.<p>{
"code": 500,
"message": "internal server error"
}<p>Does anyone have luck? Any workaround to fix it?
According to Metrist monitoring (disclosure: I work there), the errors were very rare, and didn't happen enough for us to call the product "down." Looks like around 1% of requests.
How reliable are Github cron action workflows? I set one up to run every 15 minutes recently, but it seems to actually be running closer to once an hour.
I'm trying to clone a repo at a whopping 6KB/s from Kenya.<p>EDIT: Seems to be a routing issue. I've enabled a UK VPN and it's working fine now.
Github outages are the bored engineer's equivalent of getting a surprise snow day when you were in school, full of unbridled joy.<p>For engaged, happy engineers its the equivalent of getting a surprise snow day when you are grown up and have to go dig your car out of the snow and its a normal day just with extra steps.
