Incident with Git Operations and Pages Pages is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate. Jan 19, 2023 - 16:09 UTC

  Seems they traced it down: > We are aware of an issue that impacts Actions, resulting in slow or failed jobs. Root cause in a dependency is understood and we are working with that team on a mitigation. > Posted 1 minute ago. Jan 19, 2023 - 18:49 UTC

    Presumably the outage doesn't affect all of Actions. The whole thing being down would raise a lot of flak. I wonder if actions on github pages are a canary. Like, do they roll out Actions changes to the pages service first, and let it sit for a while before going to business-sensitive tenants?

  And Actions. Actions builds are behaving … strangely. Jobs will complete all their steps, but the job will still be in progress for some time, artifacts uploads are failing, etc.

  This incident has been resolved. Posted Jan 19, 2023 - 20:51 UTC ---- Oof, 4+ hours of troubleshooting... #HugOps.

Getting internal server error on some Git repos too. "Git Operations - Degraded"

  This is even affecting the CI pipelines in our GitLab repo because it has submodules at GitHub -_- probably a lesson here

    Nothing stings like multiple SPoFs.

My GH Pages build failed after a 10 minute timeout.
- adityaathalye 4y ago
  Same, twice in a row --- original build, and rebuild both timed out. That's how I found my way to the status page and realized it's a larger problem. On the plus side, I know they enforce a timeout, and email notifications about failures (I got them) are isolated from this sort of degradation of pages, actions, and git operations.

I recently had my student license expire for Github Pro and could no longer publish new builds of my portfolio. Had to transition to Cloudflare pages, and it works like a charm. I don't entirely understand why GitHub paywalls static hosting when so many other platforms can offer it for free. Different business, different revenue streams, sure, but surely they have the resources for it, and it's not like there aren't quality, free alternatives, so I can't see it being driving factor people use to sign up.

  I host many things free on Github pages without any kind of Pro account... what is being paywalled?
- hk1337 4y ago
  Since when was it pay walled? What were you having trouble with because it seems to be available to me when I look at it.

  is the repo private? I think it has to be public to use Pages on a free plan. edit: just confirmed, https://github.com/pricing#compare-features https://github.com/pricing#compare-features

  It is only paywalled if you want to keep your source repo private, which usually isn't an issue because you're serving the contents of that repo as a web site anyway.
- TobyTheDog123 4y ago
  edit: Yep, private repo. However the point still stands as the free Cloudflare Pages plan doesn't publish your source code.

  The biggest issue I have with Cloudflare Pages, and the only barrier to my adoption, is the 25 MB per-file size limit. The per-file limit for Github Pages is 100 MB. Never really understood why the CF limit is so restrictive--a file greater than 25 MB is commonplace for static serving, and static asset servers like nginx are explicitly very good at serving such large files.

These days I'm more often surprised when GitHub is actually working correctly.

Seems like GitHub, Stack Overflow and Outlook have all been having problems/flakiness/short outages today. Common thread - Microsoft? Azure having issues, or some such thing? Edit: actually, maybe it was this (Fastly) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34446883 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34446883 And maybe the GH Actions issues from ~7 hrs ago vs. the more general GH, Stack Overflow and Outlook outage/flakiness from ~1 hr ago are different outages/different root cause.

  I watch Github RSS feed every day for outages. There's always a github issue lately, almost daily issues with actions, too.

  Azure Devops is also having problems
