How is the GitHub marketplace a runtime dependency? Code review, project management, build bots or whatever else should NOT affect the availability of your website.

- avaer 9y agoSure, if you measure uptime of your business and dev team by whether you're serving pages. I wouldn't. If Github being down means you're not fixing your site today, I'd call it a runtime dependency.
- mehwoot 9y agoI kind of see your point but it's the wrong phrase. It's not a runtime dependency in a technical sense.
- mygo 9y agosee now you're just splitting hairs and getting into philosophy. if your website will be stale tomorrow because you can't update it today, then that is a runtime dependency imo.
- paulddraper 9y agoWhy it is down tomorrow? (Hint: sans hug of death, because a runtime dependency brought it down.)
- paulddraper 9y agoIncorrect. You need build-time dependencies to change an application, and runtime dependencies to run it. Deploying/scaling is somewhere in the middle.
- jonaf 9y agoYeah, I should have clarified I was talking with my operations hat on. From a development perspective, you might call it a "deploy-time" or "scale up" dependency.
