Constant Outages at GitHub

2 points| horsemessiah | 2 years ago

It seems lately Github is having constant issues, especially with Actions, Webhooks, and Pull Requests.

How are people handling this? At what point does self hosting become preferable?

Why should developer care about this, if it means free time?

Lots of developers use GitHub Actions and as soon as it goes down and you can't push your urgent critical change, then it becomes your problem.

In fact, it means you are losing time and money waiting for GitHub to fix it as it impacts your ability to deploy / update for production.

Regardless, you should expect GitHub to go down or have an incident every month. It is that unreliable.
