GitHub: Increased Error Rates

The advantage of a distributed version control system is, of course, that you can keep working even if GitHub is down.<p>And everyone has a copy of the code, so even if GitHub never came back up you&#x27;d be able to keep on working, once you&#x27;d agreed a new central server to use for syncing purposes.

Can&#x27;t wait for someone on here to say: &quot;This is why you should run your own gitlab instance&quot;.

First twitter, then reddit, now github? What&#x27;s the real story here?<p>Edit: for the record:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;twitter&#x2F;archive&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;twitter&#x2F;archive&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;reddit&#x2F;archive&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;reddit&#x2F;archive&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;github&#x2F;archive&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;downdetector.com&#x2F;status&#x2F;github&#x2F;archive&#x2F;</a>

I guess it&#x27;s a bad time to make a presentation to let us move from an on-prem SVN repo to GitHub...

Wouldn&#x27;t like to be in shoes of GitHub engineers right now. Must be a lot of pressure. I am wondering how does the outage processes look like in a company of this scale.

Sentry got degraded performance too <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.sentry.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;status.sentry.io&#x2F;</a>

Does HN traffic spike when github goes down?

I consistently get a 500 error when I try to logout, the main page loads fine for me though.

What happened? M$
