You should never entirely depend on a third party service for deployments.

Been burned too many times on that one.

Ok.

Move to EC2.

Darn AWS is down.

Alright, run it on a Mac Mini in your basement. Ahh dawn, your ISP is having issues. Good thing you have a backup 5G hotspot.

Ohh no, the power is out.

Eventually you have to trust someone else.

GitHub is a tragedy of the Commons. Too many people are using it, and Microsoft isn't willing to handle it correctly.

Feels like a very good business opportunity. Minimum 50k yearly contracts, GitHub with actual uptime. GitPro ?

We’re actually moving back to redundant data centres due to all of those problems.

Aggregate risk is too high.

It's almost as though GitHub should never have let itself be sold to Microsoft...

I'm sure the VCs who invested in GitHub disagree.

This is supposed to be Hacker News! Who is coming up with a startup to fill the gap !

Maybe we need a split between source management and distribution? The former looks like git[hub] to me, the latter maybe more like a Linux distro repo?

We could still deploy manually but it's suboptimal! And we're 'flying blind' without CI runs

You should never entirely depend on a third party service to run your tests, either.

   make test

Should work without CI
