Is this what we have to look forward to as GitHub will be forced onto Azure?
- rhencke 8y agoDo you have a source for this?
- WorkLifeBalance 8y agoYou say that as if github never has outages when the reality is, like any large service, it has frequent service outages. Just check the github status pages, there are orange level issues almost weekly and you don't need to go back too far for full outages.
- thejosh 8y agoBecause GitHub is so stable and never goes down?
- manigandham 8y agoNo service is perfect and github has had plenty of outages. They will only become more reliable with the resources of MS/Azure at their disposal.
- tumetab1 8y agoHaving worked in big Azure customer I wouldn't say resources equals stability. The reality is more resources + quality engineering + failure testing. As this case tells, Azure, isn't spending a lot on failure testing. Also, having experience with being an big Azure customer, I can tell you that things look better than they are.
- eropple 8y agoSmall Azure customer (five figures a month), but can co-sign all of this. Azure looks shiny from the outside but we've had way, way more problems, from uptime to bad APIs to awful language SDKs to bad user interfaces to licensing hell, than I've ever had on AWS or GCP. It's so bad that I am currently weighing whether or not to advocate for a migration off of it, at nontrivial expense, because I cannot pretend to provide reliable services for our customers.
- throwaway4job 8y agoGitHub had constant availability issues _before_ being purchased by Microsoft. Fortunately, it wasn't a huge deal because git works well off-line.
