Have anyone checked out the status page? It's actually way worse than I thought, I believe this is the first time I am actually witnessing a status page with truly horrible results.
And notably, that page makes this post's title inaccurate. As of this morning, it says `90.21% uptime`, which is a _single_ 9, not 3 (though that's for the platform as a whole, no individual component appears to achieve three 9s.)
If all I want is actual git, I’m pretty sure I could get much much more than 98.98% uptime. The value of GitHub is actions, issues, PRs. To me, if actions is down GitHub is down
As someone who was impacted by GitHub's git outage in late February, which caused us to cancel a feature release, I am more sensitive to the availability of their git service, than their chatbot.
Degraded Performance is unavailable as far as I am concerned. If Github has "degraded performance" where it takes 5 minutes to load a PR then that is not good.
At that 3rd party side GH is currently noticeable worse then claude ...
Like they are down to one 9 availability and very very close to losing that to (90.2x%).
This also fit more closely to my personal experience, then the 99.900-99.989 range the article indicates...
Through honestly 99.9% means 8.76h downtime a year, if we say no more then 20min down time per 3 hours (sliding window), and no more then 1h a day, and >50% downtime being (localized) off-working hours (e.g. night, Sat,Sun) then 99.9% is something you can work with. Sure it would sometimes be slightly annoying. But should not cause any real issues.
On the other hand 90.21%... That is 35.73h outage a year. Probably still fine if for each location the working hour availability is 99.95% and the previous constraints are there. But uh, wtf. that just isn't right for a company of that size.
as in your yearly budged of outage is ~8.76h but that budged shouldn't happen all at once and if there is an outage it at most delays works by 20min at a time, and not directly again after you had a downtime
but I did fumble the 90.21% part, which is ~35.73 days i.e. over 857 hours....
This is ... surprisingly honest? The one above is "missing" status page; and most status pages would legally have to be filed in the "fiction" section of the library.
