WENE (@omijagun) reportedA GitHub outage doesn’t just break GitHub. It can break deployments, CI/CD pipelines, packages, APIs, and entire developer workflows. The internet is far more interconnected than most people realize.

Rexa DB (@RexaDB) reportedAnd Github is down....
-
Will Sidebottom (@wmksidebottom) reportedUPDATE: GitHub is still down. How much LLM compute are they burning through to solve the problem, I wonder?
-
Edward Woodcock (@remotecto) reportedI am speculating here, but I think it's a reasonable guess that @github accidentally blasted out their production db (poss with LLM). I noticed 500 errors became 404 errors - which to me suggests a streaming database restore was required, and stuff 404s until all caught up.

Travis Ennis (@travisennis) reported@ibuildthecloud up until recently I was only using github to host code, but then I got the bright idea to use them for issues, ci/cd, etc. I wish I had left well-enough alone.
-
ananimatorman (@ananimatorman) reported@alexanderlee314 Pull Requests really were degraded today. GitHub also reported ~20% errors across web and API traffic. “I just wanna see my PRs” turned into an availability problem.

Irushi (@Im_IrushiK) reportedGitHub has been down for over an hour. The irony of the platform where the world’s developers store their code having trouble running its own code 😭 Looks like they vibe coded GitHub with Copilot. LOL
