Github Actions are rapidly becoming an argument against dogfooding into your critical path.
I love how even self hosted workers don't work during these outages - running jobs on their infrastructure being flakey is marginally acceptable, but the API to simply schedule workflows having this availability is mind boggling. Github just doesn't seem like a serious company anymore.
Can't wait for the Graphite/Cursor alternative (Origin) to become available. Actions being down for an hour in the middle of the US East workday is crazy. It's super frustrating to be an enterprise customer of Github, seems like we don't get any dedicated resources or additional stability. At this point our only option is self-host github enterprise or move away.
Soon we can start posting "GitHub {x} is up!" instead, that's becoming more news-worthy lol. I know they like to blame AI/scaling, but really they are owned by one of the main hyperscalers, so I find that excuse kind of weak..
Do we need to say this again? GitHub appears that they are never going to improve. Just look at how GitHub spark has deprecated, now we have this.<p>After 6 years of this nonsense of "centralizing everything on GitHub", it is not a good idea at all.<p>You might as well self host. Just self-host.<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22868406">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22868406</a>
Incident number 6 for the month of August, notably on August 6th. This pattern does not bode well.
The speed at which GitHub is tanking their reputation is fascinating
Did Microsoft fire all the people working on the GitHub features people actually use?
Was? Still is
I am having their issues, also... Anyway this guys are great!
Someone needs to work on improving the way Actions deals with resource exhaustion like this. Today it exploded all the CI jobs with "failed" and an inscrutable message about "The job was not acquired by Runner of type hosted even after multiple attempts" then "Internal server error". It should say "Timed out due to no runner available, our apologies, try again later, or pay $$$ here to get priority for runners".
So, it's a normal Thursday?
any 9s left?
there is one 9 of uptime, but the dashboard hasn't been updated yet:
<a href="https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/" rel="nofollow">https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/</a><p>Once this goes in, I'd expect to see 89%, which is zero nines.
(I'd like to say, "a new low!", but sadly we've had this before)
They're running 9 8s of uptime.
Very frustrating, nothing more I can add at this point.
Ah. So that's why.
man.. again?
