Funnily enough, GitLab is also melting down at the moment, with pipelines not running and pull requests not functioning:

Once again, just two days ago [0], the whole of GitHub went down, after the RSA key leakage and the certificate key expiry on its user facing site.
It is also apparent that GitHub Actions has chronically been struggling to operate normally for at least once a month for years.
There is no question that GitHub has been more unreliable than if you were to use a self-hosted GitLab or Gittea instance yourself as I said before [1].

At least we don't need to scroll too far back in our comment history to copy/paste our arguments from the thread two days ago.

Nobody's stock goes down when actions go down. Nobody's stock goes up when actions are working. But everyone's stock goes up when you have mass layoffs. Working as designed.

how is it in just
five years microsoft has managed to pedal this once vibrant and bustling community of developers and creatives into a roaring dumpster fire of sketcky GPL breaking copilot AI and endless seemingly random outages.
https://www.githubstatus.com/history
github has had 55 outages in 3 months. thats nearly an outage every two days.
the last six months of 2022 had 74 outages. In many shops thats tangibly worse than what their local greybeard Linux admin maintains.
arguments against spinning up my own gitlab/gitea/jenkins/whatever in podman under systemd are starting to ring pretty hollow lately.

Github is so crappy now, it feels like something is always wrong with it. Thanks Microsoft.

Wonder if these were managed by a defunct team from India?

what is the "29.3" in the title supposed to represent? is that supposed to indicate a date of March 29th? I do not see a reference to this on the incident page itself.

At what point are organisations going to ask themselves wether this is intentional or not. Your velocity is disrupted by a likely competitor. I'd move out.

Azure is also having somewhat widespread issues at the moment, so I'd venture to guess that these two are also linked.
