On: Ask HN: Is GitHub down?

[hejcloud]

I feel sympathy for all the engs at companies I've implemented CI/CD based on Gh Actions in recent years. It's not like I didn't tell them that Github showed to be somewhat unreliable in the recent years and in contrast to their claim "it's just the build pipeline, not the product" I think it is a horrible incident if you're not able to deploy to production and have barely any ad-hoc backup.

I'm always evangelizing Argo or Flux and some self-hosted Gitlab or gitea, but seems like they all prefer to throw their money at Github as of now.

Tradeoffs and tolerances need to be considered.
