What sold you on GitHub Actions? The one 9 of reliability?

- SideQuark 1mo agoNot sure what you’re intending to show. That page shows 99.5%+ uptime across all 11 of the services provided. To do that at a small company world cost significant money. To have it integrated and cheap for all those small shops is very valuable to them.
- r_lee 1mo ago99.5% uptime is nothing significant...
- newswasboring 1mo agoYeah but it's sufficient for the largest part of CI needs. Most people are making CRUD apps, 6 9s reliability is not required there.
- r_lee 1mo agonot really, I've ran into Github Action downtime and you can't run tests or anything so either you wait or you just let stuff merge and again don't know how this is acceptable in 2026, for a paid CI service and I'm not talking about 6 9s, I mean, 99.5% is terrible
- newswasboring 1mo agoA 99.5 means over one year you will need to wait about 40 hours total for the issue to be solved. What kind of high pressure crud app are you making where this is a problem?
- r_lee 1mo agowe have technology, 99.5% is embarrassing for a company like Microsoft it's 2026, not 2016 and that 40 hr may be that over 40 days you just have to randomly stop working if you depend on GHA for something and why are other services not struggling like this?
- knocte 29d agoI never said I paid, I was referring to my opensource repos.
- shric 1mo agoIt shows 98.3% for actions for me https://ibb.co/PsMkpJFY https://ibb.co/PsMkpJFY
