Again? Last time an incident happened was 48 hours ago [0]. Now the API is having issues.
Something every week is falling apart at GitHub and it is slowly self-destructing.
Each time there is an incident at GitHub, it is another advertisement to self-host your own. Otherwise just expect GitHub to break next week or two.
Remember, there is no CEO of GitHub; only their AI agents running it into the ground.
OpenAI, Anthropic and Google serve models, but approximately all of their combined output ends up on github.
To a certain extend I can fully accept that GH has scaling issues because of the insane traffic increase from AI generated code. But they are owned by one of the largest technology companies in the world, who also happens to run a hyperscaler.. so..
They need to split paying customers off onto dedicated infrastructure. I know that you get that with some enterprise offerings but I don’t believe the normal paying customers get that treatment.
It’s clear they have massive scaling challenges but to not tier or isolate your paying customers from the free plan users seems a bit odd. Just my 2cents though.
