Github is down
- AznHisoka 13y agoSo the one time i decided to deploy my code to production.. Github goes down? What gives?!
- VierScar 13y agoThanks a lot AznHisoka - you broke GitHub!
- leishulang 13y agoand .... it's up now
- talklittle 13y agoOn and off, maybe. I can't reach any repository pages.
- aroman 13y agoLooks like another DoS attack: "0:18 UTC GitHub.com is recovering at this time from a DoS attack. We're continuing to monitor things and will provide further updates as the situation develops." Is there really no way to protect from these attacks!?
- Negitivefrags 13y agoThere is a way. Have more bandwidth then your attacker. DDoS protection services exist that forward the good traffic on to you, and they do this by having excessively large amounts of bandwidth. They also cost obscene amounts of money.
- aroman 13y agoRight, like CloudFlare's services. I remember reading the postmortems from that very large attack a few months back. Surely GitHub must have the money to beef up their pipes, no? Or perhaps they're noticing that these outages aren't really hurting their bottom line, and thus it's not worth the investment...
- remosi 13y agoGoogle has a little known service that does DDoS mitigation for you (amongst other things) called PageSpeed service[1], which is (currently) free[2]. They also do various optimisations for your site, and support things like caching, SPDY and IPv6. (disclaimer: I'm a google employee, but not on the page speed service).

- lukashed 13y agoThis has probably been asked in one of the hundreds "GitHub is down" posts in the last few months, but what are the alternatives (apart from bitbucket)?
- adamnemecek 13y agoI think that some people use GitLab to host their own Github clones. It's debatable whether that's a viable alternative.
- wldlyinaccurate 13y agoI used GitLab with a small team for a while and found it to be adequate. It never quite felt as good as GitHub and was missing a few trivial features (although I can't remember any right now) but overall it was a pretty good experience.

- tlarkworthy 13y agogit on dropbox? (what I use, it has the feature of syncing everyones origin automatically oppertunistically) http://edinburghhacklab.com/2012/11/easy-version-control-git-on-dropbox/ http://edinburghhacklab.com/2012/11/easy-version-control-git...
- spacemanaki 13y agoProps to you for actually testing simultaneous pushes where conflicts arise at the Dropbox-level, but I would still never do this (for a multiuser repo, for a single user it's probably fine). Maybe I'm overly risk-averse, but I've been bitten a few times by Git setups that are non-standard or complicated and decided that it's far better to keep things as simple as possible. I'm not really interested in fiddling about keeping Git running smoothly, when it's incidental to the real work. It's just not worth it to save a few bucks, versus hosting a Git repo yourself on a VPS or something.
- oakaz 13y agoWho is making DDos attacks to Github ? and why?
- coolsunglasses 13y ago1. Dunno. 2. Usually blackmail.
- lukashed 13y agoThey seem to cheat with their "Mean Web Response Time". As you can see in the graph, at the time the App Server Availability is down to 0, the Response Time is also 0, where it should be ∞, or at least the timeout time. This would reflect the real mean response time, or am I wrong? Edit: It was just one spike that went down to 0, directly after it there's a higher spike. (It didn't change the mean response time of 113ms, though)
