GitHub is down for some users

[gnulinux]

Continuing the pattern of downtimes in high-profile tech products. I'm genuinely curious whether this is a quirky property of Poisson distribution or something more interesting is going on...

EDIT: One datapoint, Boston, MA, here still getting 500s e.g. in gist.

The web is so centralized at this point that I don't think Poisson processes even really apply. When Cloudflare goes down, so does half the world. When AWS sneezes, 10% of websites die for an hour. It wouldn't surprise me if Azure was experiencing some funkiness and that's what was causing GitHub's issues.

It's been promoted to a "Major Outage." This is disrupting a lot of stuff. I hope their engineers can fix whatever the problem is before too long.

Gone from Major Outage to Degraded Performance in the space of minutes.

At least the status page is working. Was expecting all green lights like most other major cloud providers.

now, Degraded Performance for now only on API, Issues and PR
