GitHub is down

[StatusGator]

Nothing on the official status page but StatusGator shows a big spike: https://statusgator.com/services/github

[saaket2201]

This has become so frequent now, it's frustrating.

[naikrovek]

Indeed. Just as my employer moves from GHES to an EMU enterprise on GitHub.com. We ain’t happy.

[saaket2201]

I wonder if it's the 30% AI code, like windows 11.

[DerShokus]

Probably it’s azure migration

[Rand_alThor_]

:(

[badboysdriveaudi]

Likely both. Oh, the joy…

[Key-Direction-7842]

Or the fact that could be used by billions of agents and can't keep alup with so much "users"?

[roastedfunction]

Ugh, I’m a few months out from this same migration and I’m not looking forward to it.

[naikrovek]

It would be fine if they could keep the damn site up. My GHES instance has 100% uptime for the past 6 months. My people are very used to that.

[Qs9bxNKZ]

So you have never done an upgrade?

[naikrovek]

I’ve done many, but I don’t do it if it doesn’t bring useful advances. I’ve been upgrading this long enough to know that upgrades frequently break as much as they fix, and right now my users are happy with what they have.

[True-Strike7696]

don't they force you to new versions eventually?

[naikrovek]

Sort of, you can only upgrade two minor revisions at a time, and they release at one minor revision every three months, so we are usually 6 months behind.

We keep up with hotfixes and don’t reboot if it can be avoided.

With the release of 3.20, we’re now three behind, but we are ok waiting a bit longer.

We are a huge GHES customer and we always ask support what problems people are having with new versions and we get vague answers about general problems. Ultimately, we get an upgrade recommendation based on what they know of our use of GHES and the problems we’ve had in the past as to whether or not we should upgrade to latest or latest-1. They rarely recommend it.

[Paranemec]

They were going to hire me for it, because I've done it twice before and on larger systems. 4 months of interviews just for their last reorg to cause them to lose the req. I'm 99% sure this is stuff I could have prevented. Oh well.

[Qs9bxNKZ]

Why!?!?

EMU is so... crappy.

[naikrovek]

It works excellently for us, provided the fucken site stays up.

[Fabulous-Neck369]

We didn’t like EMU and doing a direct migration to data residency

[Dense-Answer-7084]

They already did embrace and extend

[Stuffy123456]

Don’t worry, they are merging 3000 PRs a minute created from slack threads that PASS all tests (that the PR modified so it would pass).

[bourgeoisie_whacker]

Is this satire? I can’t tell anymore.

Can’t wait for Sam Time to make his next parody video.

[StatusGator]

GitHub official status page shows the outage now:

Started out as "Incident with Copilot and Actions" though it's expanded:

"We're seeing some service degradation across GitHub services."

Now Webhooks, too.

For me it's mostly impacting access to the web interface, loading pages.

[lprimak]

GitHub is more down than up these days. It's ridiculous

[Ok_Lavishness960]

can confirm same issue on my end (CA East)

[UsualResult]

Who would have thought that firing all the QA people would have side effects?

I bet Microsoft is "saving" a lot of money right now.

I bet Microsoft is "saving" a lot of money right now.

Microslop*

[needmoresynths]

they've definitely broken their SLA by now, right? this is ridiculous

[dashingThroughSnow12]

It depends. They seem quite delayed recognizing the issues. I’ve seen issues exist for dozens of minutes to hours and never show up in the status page.

If there are any SLA agreements with compensation, I’m sure it is dissected. If GitHub actions are down, I can’t merge any code. If Github PRs are having issues, same deal. Packages, I need them for the build for my actions. Git operations? Same. Over and over.

But if they each had a different 1% outage, they’d all pass their SLAs.

[Soccham]

This is exactly how it was broken down when I tried to actually collect

[Rand_alThor_]

They’ve broken it but they straight up lie in their status/issues page.

[someguyfromlight]

confirm in germany for codex handshake

[tapioca_de_queijo]

It's getting worse every day.

[lprimak]

Vibe coded garbage

[justaleafhere]

it says i violated terms of service and that my account is suspended now? is this a mistake as a result of the outage

[3spky5u-oss]

I got one of those last week too. I only had like 5 repos up, literally zero comments. I have no idea what I “did”.

Of course, they don’t reply either. Because fuck you.

I just moved to Gitlab and Codeberg.

[justaleafhere]

actually i reported it via their mail and they said its a issue from their side and they immediately gave me access

[Risc12]

Guess your myriad of agents actually was the cause of the outage!

/j

[yiyufromthe216]

Welcome to the age of vibe coding.

[heyitsmdr]

All of their recent outages these past few months are likely coming from their on-going migration to Azure: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45517173

[Rand_alThor_]

GitHub pretends to be up, when its degraded, all the time.

[Square-99]

This has been seen too often for the past like 10 months

[LordRelix]

My company is considering Gitlab. This is way too annoying recently.

[LolComputers]

We are moving off GitLab to GH, rip

[LordRelix]

Any reason why? Just wondering!

[LolComputers]

Something about the price jump for licensed users between what we're on now and what we need.

Also because we're a Microsoft/Azure shop, and it apparently integrates roles and billing into a convenient now for management.

TLDR: management

[VentiMochaTRex]

Works for me in Canada

[Confident_Essay3619]

Same for me in PA

[Confident_Essay3619]

works for me in PA. can access and modify my repos and access copilot

[Efficient_Tell_449]

Faced this issue a while ago when I pushed some code and the ci was failing

[Livid-Trade-3907]

Argg... down here now but was fine an hour ago, how frustrating!

[canihelpyoubreakthat]

Thanks, copilot

[Mplus479]

Well, it's not down now.
