Does GitHub provide uptime stats? Seems very unreliable recently.

About 10 years ago someone said we should move to self hosting because bitbucket who we used were unreliable. I looked at the status page and say 2 hours of downtime over 3-months, while we have 3-4 days of downtime on our self hosted jenkins during the same time. I always think of that when I see people complain about services being unreliable. Often we see one or two problems in short span and forget about the months were we didn't see any issues.

GitHub is probably as reliable now as it has been for the past 10 years. It's always had downtime.

Wow. This sounds like a broken organization?

[manojlds]

No it isn't. It's been very unstable in recent times ( 1 year or so)

They used to, some screenshots of it existing here:

> Let’s hope it’s temporary and GitHub error 500 won’t become their own version of Blue Screen of Death. In this case it would be Green Screen of Death (GSoD or GhSoD).

Heh, if anything it has gotten worse.

https://www.githubstatus.com/history seems to show incidents in the last 3 months:

* March - 20 incidents

* April - 12 incidents

* May - 4 incidents (so far)

We notice API outages that break core functionality every single day. It's gotten so bad over the last couple years.

Performance of the GitHub website in general feels increasingly bad.

Yes, my experience too. I feel it the most when reviewing code. It felt much snappier before.

It's a surprisingly unreliable service. It's been great for code management / reviews. But I can't imagine relying on it as the only option for deployments via CD. Imagine needing to deploy an important bug fix or a big project with a release date, but you can't because Github's having an outage.

You can checkout https://github.com/GitHub-Incident-History/GitHub-Incident-H... which provides all recorded GitHub incidents.

It's since M$FT took over, not so recently.
