Migrations of Actions and Copilot to Azure completed in 2024.

Pages and Packages completed in 2025.

Core platform and databases began in October 2025 and are in progress, with traffic split between the legacy Github data center and Azure.

That's probably partly why things have got increasingly flaky - until they finish there'll be constant background cognitive load and surface area for bugs from the fact everything (especially the data) is half-migrated

You'd think so, and we don't know about today's incident yet, but recent Github incidents have been attributed specifically to Azure, and Azure itself has had a lot of downtime recently that lasts for many hours.

True, the even simpler explanation is what they've migrated to is itself just unreliable

And yet, somehow my wife still has a hotmail.com address 25 years later.
