Has Github been down this often before Microsoft took over?

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Kinda. Less people used it back then so less eyes on downtime.

But its been a couple of times per month for a while now. And its causing delays at work. Here's to hoping they mess up enough that we can switch to something better!

I find this very odd because Azure DevOps is hardly ever down in our experience.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think they are on azure yeah?

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They mostly aren't. They just announced they will be migrating the entire system to azure in the coming months tho

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Damn man. It took me months to convince the team to get off azdo

I think it used to be down more often. But it's been a long time and memories aren't reliable.

What changed is that it mostly only did git, that isn't in a time-sensitive work process. So nobody cared much if it was down.

Yeah, it didn't have CI runners or complex project management features. Pushing code can be done later. Looking at open-source issues can be done later.

That was so long ago I don't think that's comparable. But you can read through the availability report history
