@asgrim@phpc.social to be fair though, it only looks bad because of the facts and the data. If you can look past that and keep the faith, it really isn't all that bad.

@asgrim@phpc.social major outages 2016-2018. Unclear how that goes to 100% https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1545696000&dateRange=custom&dateStart=1456531200&page=0&prefix=true&query=github%20outage&sort=byPopularity&type=story And the data showing ~100 min downtime per month also seems to add up all services? Or some alternative data for "only 90% availability" numbers: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ Just, things have been on fire before Azure as well.

@asgrim@phpc.social After Microsoft acquired GitHub the introduction of new features (that you are very likely relying on) greatly accelerated; GitHub’s feature set was pretty much stagnant before that. As an example, GitHub Actions was only introduced after the acquisition and certainly contributed to some of the growing pains, since easily accessible CI puts a lot more stress on the API and git delivery. Correlation is not causation.
