Is Github losing any significant business from all these outages?

Curious because for a long time we as an industry maintained that reliability and brand value are business critical; but seems like they are cared very little now a days.

Happy to be corrected about my perception too.

And as recently as two or three years ago it was universally agreed that the only way to reliably and securely deliver software was via repeatable builds with an attested chain of custody and auditable bill of materials and everybody just gave up on that completely when the LLMs got somewhat better.

They are entrenched enough that it's wrote off as cost of doing business. Big business have their internal instances so they are "insulated", everyone else isn't as critical and have the resources to do an internal solution or move.

Org instances have been affected by these outages too. Including the one today

They have on-prem / dedicated instances? I thought that microsoft only offered that through their Azure DevOps git offering.

GitHub Enterprise has existed for a while: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.20/admin/over...

I'm pretty sure it still does - I used it at a previous job and at somewhere that I interviewed recently they said they used GitHub (given their size and being a somewhat regulated industry I can't imagine they rely on github.com).

From Github to Gitlab? Out of the frying pan into the fire.

It'd be nice if there was a good alternative for anybody working at scale.

Codeberg or self-hosted Gitea seems a perfect replacement.
