While its certainly not ideal to have incidents. To me, "almost every day" would require a longer pattern. The incident before yesterday was 5 days prior. Even if you go back more than a month, there are 12 days with incidents, so ~1/3. Less than half certainly isn't almost every day. Not really seeing a solid pattern in the times either.

  7-days in April there were outages. 3-days in May so far with outages. GP point is, that's anything but "daily". GP also depicts, it's not at the same time either.

    Sure, but that's certainly not five nines of reliability. How many billions of dollars did this collectively cost? That's lots of wasted engineer time at best, and the inability to build a hot fix for your own outage at worst.

      Github doesn't claim "five nines of reliability". There SLA is for 99.9% ("three nines"). Which equates to: Daily: 1m 26s Weekly: 10m 4.8s Monthly: 43m 28s Quarterly: 2h 10m 24s Yearly: 8h 41m 38s https://github.com/customer-terms/github-online-services-sla https://github.com/customer-terms/github-online-services-sla

        So they don't even manage to stay within the three nines. Today they already spent their whole quarterly budget. With the incidents April and May they have already exceeded their whole yearly budget.

        They are aiming to maintain a single 9 reliability.

Ya very odd claim by OP. Looking at the history, while not great, it certainly isn't every day nor has any type of pattern.
