About 10 years ago someone said we should move to self hosting because bitbucket who we used were unreliable. I looked at the status page and say 2 hours of downtime over 3-months, while we have 3-4 days of downtime on our self hosted jenkins during the same time. I always think of that when I see people complain about services being unreliable. Often we see one or two problems in short span and forget about the months were we didn't see any issues.
GitHub is probably as reliable now as it has been for the past 10 years. It's always had downtime.
- manojlds 3y agoNo it isn't. It's been very unstable in recent times ( 1 year or so)
- that_guy_iain 3y agoI‘ve personally only experience 1 outage that effected me. And I’ve been using it heavily for the past year and moderately for years before that.
- darkwater 3y ago> while we have 3-4 days of downtime on our self hosted jenkins during the same time Wow. This sounds like a broken organization?
- joshmanders 3y agoIt sounds like literally every organization.
- that_guy_iain 3y agoSounds like a startup with no devops and before a lot of the tooling to make things better.
- darkwater 3y agoAnd why such a startup should install a Jenkins server instead of relying on some SaaS free-tier?
- that_guy_iain 3y agoIt was 10-years ago. There weren't really any SaaS with free tiers.
