- wongarsu 3y agoIt depends on the Recovery Time Objective we are talking about. For example at our company there are daily backups of both our dependencies and those used in the build process. If github had a prolonged outage or accidentally deleted all their data we could set up a gitea with all our code within hours, and get a replacement for Github Actions working within days. But that takes longer than the expected duration of this outage, and is a lot of work. It's not like we have a standby gitea we can just seamlessly switch to, so we are still hit by this outage. On the other hand for build dependencies we do have a standby mirror.
