Google loses money when search is down because they can not serve ads. Does Github actually lose money when they are down? I think that because everyone is on subscription they do not lose money by the second, rather instead they lose reputation and long term they could lose customers, but Github's income isn't quite as sensitive to downtime as Googles in general, thus less investment in DevOps in comparison.
