> people have only started complaining about its uptime in the last year or so

I'm sorry but this made me laugh out loud. That isn't true at all, this has been going on for years. This conversation[0] from six years ago has discussion about the outages starting to become much more frequent in December 2019. It has never gotten better in that time, it's just continually degraded.

Yup. GitHub has easily the worst human-noticable downtime for all SaaS services I've used going back over 10 years.

Most people work around it by self-hosting github (which has other problems but uptime aint one).


What problems does it have?


Ok I should have said people have only started constantly complaining in the past year or so. Of course there was the odd complaint in the past, but now I see a thread about it at least ever month on HN, and loads of articles about migration off GitHub.
