  Oh no. I look forward to watching my browser redirect 40 times on every attempted page load.

  Wow. It wasn't already running on Azure? What was it (or is it) running on?
  - noir_lord 10mo ago
    iirc (it's been a while) they where on rackspace when Microsoft bought them out - there was an article a few months ago saying they where moving to Azure and freezing new features while they do the move[1]. [1] https://thenewstack.io/github-will-prioritize-migrating-to-azure-over-feature-development/ https://thenewstack.io/github-will-prioritize-migrating-to-a... Honestly I don't know half the features they have added because the surface is huge at this point everyone seems to be using a (different) subset of them anyway. So a feature freeze isn't likely to have much impact on me. EDIT: went and checked - https://github.blog/news-insights/github-is-moving-to-rackspace/ https://github.blog/news-insights/github-is-moving-to-racksp... not sure if they moved again before the MS acquisition though.
    - nixgeek 10mo ago
      A team of us moved it off Rackspace in 2013, it’s been mostly in a set of GitHub operated colo since then. Used to be there was some workloads on AWS and a bit of DirectConnect. Now it’s some workloads on Azure. To the best of my knowledge there’s been no Rackspace in the picture since about 2013, the details behind that are fuzzy as it’s been 10+ years since I worked on infrastructure at GitHub.
      - antn 10mo ago
        yeah, we did not have anything in Rackspace for many years before the Microsoft acquisition. I remember having to migrate some tiny internal things off of Heroku, though!
  - le_stoph 10mo ago
    In the Pragmatic Engineer podcast episode with the former CEO of Github, the latter mentioned that they had their own infra for everything. If I remember correctly, this was due to the fact that Github is quite old and at the time when Github Actions became a thing, cloud providers were not really offering the kind of infra that was necessary to support the feature.
    - Kwpolska 10mo ago
      GitHub is old, but GitHub Actions are not. Indeed, GitHub Actions launched two months after the Microsoft acquisition was announced [0], and it is a half-assed clone of Azure Pipelines. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_GitHub https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_GitHub
      - le_stoph 10mo ago
        I'll be damned, I feel like I've been using GA since forever! You're right though, just re-listened to the segment[0] and the ex-CEO mentions they were initially using AWS, then moved to their own servers because of the limitations of AWS at the time and their particular needs. Github Actions did however always run on Azure! [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oq__5tDFZI&t=491s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oq__5tDFZI&t=491s

        Fair enough, my Azure experience is minimal enough that maybe I shouldn't make assumptions about whether this would improve things. That being said, I do think there's merit in the idea that if Microsoft is going to be able to solve this problem, they probably should try to solve it just once, and in a general way, rather than just for Github?

Anyone using GitLab have any insight on how well their operations are running these days? We originally left GitLab for GitHub after being bit by a major outage that resulted in data loss. Our code was saved, but we lost everything else. But that was almost 10 years ago at this point.

    - colesantiago 10mo ago
      Never had any problems really. GitHub on the other hand has outages more frequently.
  - tux3 10mo ago
    That has definitely not been my experience. I like Gitlab, but they've had regular incidents all along. If a git push failed I wouldn't question it, it's almost never my network. I'd just open Gitlab's Gitlab and find the current active issue. To Gitlab's credit their observability seems to be good, and they do a good job communicating and resolving incidents quickly. Some companies that shall not be named have status pages that always show green and might as well be a static picture. Some use words like "some customers may have experienced partial service degradation" to mean "complete downtime". Gitlab also has incidents, but they're a lot more trustworthy. You can just open the issue tracker and there's the full incident complete with diagnosis.
    - colesantiago 10mo ago
      Hmmm. You must be doing GitLab wrong.
contravariant 10mo ago

  Just your casual $3.8T company. There were so many severe Github Actions outages (10+ ?) in the past year. Cause: Migration to the disaster zone also known as Azure, I assume. Most of them happened during (morning) CET working hours, as to not inconvenience the americans and/or make headlines. Money doesn't buy competency. It's a long-term culture thing. You can never let go on maintaining competency in your organization. It rots if you do. I guess Microsoft did let go.

    I thought GitHub Actions (in particular; not the rest of GitHub) was always Azure, because it was initially a fork of Azure Pipelines? GitHub as a whole, including the previously non-Azure bits, does seem flakier than a few years ago though, for sure.
    - degamad 10mo ago
      It's possible that, even though the Actions part was always on Azure, migrating the other parts to Azure broke some connectivity between the pieces....
arnvald 10mo ago
I’m old enough to remember when GitHub was on main page due to a cool feature they added, now they just end up here when it stops working
- alentred 10mo ago
  If I remember it well, every once in a while a new cool feature was also breaking stuff, doubling the chances of getting to the top page here. But truth being told, GitHub was fixing those at light speed too and it was very interesting to follow their progress. Their delivery pipeline (per branch, deliver when ready, etc.) sounded very much innovative by then and I think inspired many people.
wavemode 10mo ago
It's possible that Microsoft buying GitHub was a large-scale psyop intended to reduce the productivity of the competition. Any time their startup competitors are making too much progress they can just push the "GitHub incident" button and slow everyone down.
- grepfru_it 10mo ago
  We used to obsessively care about 500s. Like I would make a change that caused a 0.1% spike in 500s and I would silently say I'm sorry to the folks who got the unicorn page. I'm not sure the new school cares nearly as much. But then again this is how companies change as they mature. I saw this with StubHub as well.. The people who care the most are the initial employees, employee #7291 usually dgaf
  - 0x1ch 10mo ago
    I fall into the new school gen z category, and I think you're right. We don't care. We don't care about the problems started before us, and we owe nothing to no one (but our employers, must increase value for shareholders of course). I simply want to survive. I'll kiss ass where I have to, but not to people I don't work on behalf of.
    - ares623 10mo ago
      Hell yeah
    - kataklasm 10mo ago
      Can't say that's entirely true for me ('02). If my [ employer, supervisor, ... ] provides me with logical, traceable tasks with their context properly laid out, I can totally put a ton of effort into providing meticulous, well thought out solutions, that are as good as it gets under the provided constraints. It's the non-sensical (be it actually non-sensical or just not understood enough because of unprovided context) tasks that make me not care.
    - Arch485 10mo ago
      I'll throw in my $0.02, as a fellow zoomer. I care about the things that are mine (as in, my code, my decisions, etc. etc.). But if management fucks up and tells me to fix it, there is no amount of money that will make me care. Especially if I advised management _not_ to do that in the first place.

Speaking of GitHub issues if you go to Insight->Traffic in your repo you’ll most likely see this banner: “ Referring sites and popular content are temporarily unavailable or may not display accurately. We're actively working to resolve the issue.” It’s been like that for months now with no sign of anyone working on it. They just don’t care about user experience anymore. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/173494 https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/173494
- embedding-shape 10mo ago
  Speaking of "temporarily unavailable but it's actually forever", I've been wanting to get into Fallout and Starfield modding, so been waiting for their official wiki to come out of maintenance mode. I think I first tried to access it when Starfield launched (September 2023), and still today it is "currently down for backend maintenance". https://wiki.bethesda.net/ https://wiki.bethesda.net/
- vaindil 10mo ago
  Hey, I'm the GitHub employee who's working on fixing that right now. The service powering those stats is _ancient_, and it fell over back in September. It's taken longer than I hoped to get a replacement working, but it should be fixed within the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed.

I really do feel for those hubbers that are still working on this years into the Microsoft era. GitHub was an excellent product and from what I hear it was an excellent culture too. I can only assume the culture has eroded similarly to the product itself as Microsoft has finally begun integrating the org into the slower moving machine that is MS.

Speaking of GitHub issues if you go to Insight->Traffic in your repo you’ll most likely see this banner: “ Referring sites and popular content are temporarily unavailable or may not display accurately. We're actively working to resolve the issue.” It’s been like that for months now with no sign of anyone working on it. They just don’t care about user experience anymore. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/173494 https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/173494

Speaking of "temporarily unavailable but it's actually forever", I've been wanting to get into Fallout and Starfield modding, so been waiting for their official wiki to come out of maintenance mode. I think I first tried to access it when Starfield launched (September 2023), and still today it is "currently down for backend maintenance". https://wiki.bethesda.net/ https://wiki.bethesda.net/

Hey, I'm the GitHub employee who's working on fixing that right now. The service powering those stats is _ancient_, and it fell over back in September. It's taken longer than I hoped to get a replacement working, but it should be fixed within the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed.

I really do feel for those hubbers that are still working on this years into the Microsoft era. GitHub was an excellent product and from what I hear it was an excellent culture too. I can only assume the culture has eroded similarly to the product itself as Microsoft has finally begun integrating the org into the slower moving machine that is MS.
