GitHub Having Issues
- vexcaustic 5y agoLet's hope they didn't push faulty DNS records :D But seriously, what's going on with all the service disruptions? From slack to all of facebook to GitHub (who had 7 incidents in September). Maybe centralizing the whole internet into a few providers isn't a good idea after all?
- simzor 5y agoHaha. To be fair GitHub has had a lot of issues that last few months though.
- rvz 5y agoYou're not wrong about this... [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28130251 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28130251 Just don't go 'all in' on one service without backups or some second plan.

- stuff4ben 5y agoRunning services at scale is hard! And having everything in the cloud does put all of your eggs in a single basket. Also having all on-prem, home-built stuff is the same problem (eg. Facebook). Hybrid cloud solutions should help somewhat with impact when a service provider goes down, hopefully you can shunt your services locally and isolate yourself from the problem. But I doubt anyone is really doing that at scale either.
- dijit 5y ago> Maybe centralizing the whole internet into a few providers isn't a good idea after all? Everything's tradeoffs, economies of scale for centralising- easy to blame the provider if a fuckup happens. But when it goes down it stops everything; same issue with AWS, Azure's ADFS, Cloudflare, ad infinitum. Half the internet can go away at a moments notice or the provider can turn on you personally because an automated bot dislikes your username and decides to blacklist your company. (is my bias showing?) Anyway, Late September/Early October is rife with outages for as long as we've been running internet services. People speculate that it's the influx of new sysadmins/programmers, but that's debated.
- moretta 5y ago> Anyway, Late September/Early October is rife with outages for as long as we've been running internet services. Is there any particular source for that or is it just something that you've noticed? Feel like I do see more around this time of year but would be real interested if there is data backing it up.
- RapperWhoMadeIt 5y agoI literally set up some GitHub actions today for the first time in my life, I was really pumped about getting into the CI/CD game with my latest open repository. A couple of hours ago everything was going great, running a workflow needed maybe 40 seconds max. Now, they are not running at all. That all happened while I was thinkering with the yaml workflow file, so the disruption of the service made me believe that it was me who broke something :P it's been a nice first experience with CI/CD though, never going back to building my self. Check my GitHub repo (see my bio) to see it's true haha
- bombcar 5y agoThink of the poor grandma yesterday who was finally convinced to get a Facebook account to see the grandkids and right as she hits "create account" Facebook goes down worldwide. No force on earth will convince her she didn't do it.
- danuker 5y ago> running a workflow needed maybe 40 seconds max If your test suite takes 40 seconds, is it not quicker and easier to run locally than the overhead of another git commit to get feedback?
- jffry 5y agoAutomating the tests so that they run against 100% of commits is great. Humans are fallible and might not remember to always run the tests locally. If I'm making a change and I want feedback from the test suite, of course I'd run it locally.
- hivacruz 5y agoI thought I have started too many workflows in a short time and got temporarily restricted! By the way, just discovered a nice library to test GitHub Actions locally: https://github.com/nektos/act https://github.com/nektos/act
- stuff4ben 5y agoNice find there with Act! I've always hated the dev/test flow with GHA.
- k4runa 5y agoMercury retrograde doing its thing.
- matsemann 5y agoGetting pretty tired of GH Actions being down every other week.
- roemerb 5y agoAgain
- paulvnickerson 5y agoYesterday was the most productive dev day in history. Today the pendulum swings the other way.
- jvolkman 5y agoWas it really? There were a lot of people here discussing the outage.
- xmpirate 5y agoIs https://gist.github.com https://gist.github.com down for everyone or it's just me? Not able to access it since weeks now.
- mcintyre1994 5y agoNot down for me (UK)
- JohnL4 5y agoAZ DevOps just threw this up in my face: https://status.dev.azure.com/_event/265268533 https://status.dev.azure.com/_event/265268533 Related? Geography is US.
- corobo 5y agoNo problems here. What does it resolve to? A dodgy Adblock rule maybe?
- xmpirate 5y agoIt just tells me "This site can’t be reached - DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" `host gist.github.com` returns - "Host gist.github.com not found: 5(REFUSED)" Disabled adblock. Still same. I'm using from India.
- thinkafterbef 5y agoThis is happening far too often with such a vital product of the GitHub stack. Our whole business[1] relies on GitHub Actions functioning. It just sucks. [1] https://buildjet.com/for-github-actions https://buildjet.com/for-github-actions
- justusthane 5y agoJust a note that in your comparisons on your home page, you have a space after the 4 in "4 vCpu", but not after the 2 in "2vCpu". Github Action 2vCpu / 8 GB RAM BuildJet Runner 4 vCpu / 16 GB RAM Also, should probably be capitalized as "vCPU".
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoAlso the fact it is referred to as GitHub Action all over the site but it should be GitHub Actions
- thinkafterbef 5y agoDeploying copy fixes!
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoDo you guys have customers?
- thinkafterbef 5y agoYes, we do! We launched 20 days ago and should soon be ramen profitable.
- KingMachiavelli 5y agoFYI you might want to make the company logos & names more generic since big companies are pretty ruthless when it comes to trademark usage and their brand.
- sergiotapia 5y agoWhat's the uptime of Github vs Gitlab?
- hirako2000 5y agoIt wouldn't be fair to compare anyways. But since users actually pay for gitlab CICD feature, above a small free tier, I imagine it is more reliable.
- the-dude 5y agoThis reminds me of 2? years ago, when similarly multiple services failed in a window of a couple of weeks. Or was this last summer? I can't recall. Anyways, Twitter will be down next week. You've read it here first.
- manojlds 5y agoGitHub has issues frequently enough these days.
- mpolichette 5y agoI hope it stays down... oh wait, that was yesterdays thing...
