>Microsoft has moved a lot of staff from Azure to GitHub and since then GitHub has taken a dive in quality and reliability of their services for sure. Github has had availability issues for about a decade now, but I'm sure it's Microsoft's fault that their MySQL clusters have high replication times[0]. > I'm even surprised that they decided to replace GitHub's own work with Azure DevOps's code. Feels more like a slow organisational move from DevOps to GitHub and for marketing purposes replace GitHub's Python, Go and other code with C#. This is not true, no code from GitHub has been "replaced" with .Net since Github never had a CI solution. Github was and still is a Ruby shop running MySQL. My understanding is that large parts of the actions codebase is still written in Ruby, but under the hood the CI jobs themselves run using the Azure Devops Pipelines infrastructure. In general blaming uptime on a programming language is the wrong way to think about it. Outside framework level failures like GC memory leaks it shouldn't really matter what programming language you use when it comes to uptime. Things like architecture, database availability, caching, capacity planning, and redundancy are far more operationally important. >So far the only big projects using .NET have been Bing (of course lol) and StackOverflow. Microsoft has been longing for something else to finally use .NET for a respected project. Since nothing happened organically they had to buy their way in :P What? C# is consistently in the top 5 most used programming languages in the world in most surveys[1][2]. Why would they care about adding some marginal new project when it's used in almost every Microsoft product?
