Another day, another Github outage.

By arionmiles 2026-03-0320:07 I seriously believe that it's not that GitHub is run on AI-generated code that's responsible for these slew of outages recently. I think it's crumbling under the load of a significantly large amount of AI-enabled coding with users raising PRs and pushing content a lot more than previously.
Obviously, if this is true, the team at GitHub is failing to scale their infra to meet the workload demands.
As of the time of writing, nothing on the status page either :( https://www.githubstatus.com
Updog tracks this via Datadog logs - https://updog.ai/status/github
No wonder they don't publish an availability percentage. If I was a business customer paying for GitHub I would be very upset with the availability lately.
By lelandbatey 2026-03-0319:091 reply Someone built an archive of Github statuses to show aggregate uptime, last month and this month Github's uptime is below 90%, not even one "nine" of availability: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/
87% uptime for Github in February 2026. They've got to get it together.
By jcgrillo 2026-03-0319:36 They only have to get it together if the churn impacts their bottom line. If they aren't losing strategic customers the uptime is good enough.
By utf_8x 2026-03-0319:00 Actions are failing and starting new actions results in a 500 error... The status page is shockingly all green...
Edit: The status page is no longer green
