- tauchunfall 10y agoThe last time GitHub went down was in January and it was over two hours. What prevents GitLab from going down like GitHub? Update: Yeah, maybe if we run an own GitLab instance in our corporate network. Update update: Hmm, there seem to be outages in February, March and April, too.

- sudhirj 10y agoAny Git hosting provider as large as GH is also likely to go down once in a while. The bigger your scale is the more difficult it is to get nines.
- hvm 10y agoI dunno, I'd see it as the opposite. The bigger the scale the more cost effective it is to have more redundancy. I can't remember the last time Google search wasn't working or saw news about it being down. The fact that github keeps going down while being a huge business shows they still need to work on having more redundancy, something that's expected of big services like theirs.
- abluecloud 10y agowell, a lot of people's work is reliant on it, so i'd say it's a pretty important thing. > Also, please use GitLab. and you can't just say "use xyz".
