Sure, that all makes sense. It’s still true that someone stressing git and GH’s services in this particular way produced information that wasn’t especially redundant. Monitoring was good at catching it, but probably based more on service quality than on the actual thing under stress. Now there’s some data about the thing under stress, and if nothing else that allows some knob turns to calibrate monitoring. And if nothing else, that would more readily catch someone doing the same with nefarious purposes.
