Either this is Ruby on Rails in all of its glory, or their infrastructure and ops need a lot of attention.
GitHub is definitely down more often in the last couple of years though. It's noticeable. Hope they figure it out.
- brodock 4y agoThere is a lot more to fail before the web worker that can be scaled indefinitely by putting more machines to respond behind a reverse proxy server. Things like the database or random microservices that implement the death star architecture.
- pdimitar 4y agoSure, and my comment doesn't exclude it. I wonder what's truly the weakest link.
- realusername 4y agoWe're also running a large rails app and I can't remember a single downtime caused by rails itself, it's always been some db, network, cloud or business logic issue. Rails is pretty far down the list of the issues you encounter.
