As an isolated event, this is not great, but when you see the stagnation (if not downwards trajectory) of GitHub as a whole, it‘s even worse in my opinion.

edit: Before someone says something. I do understand that the underlying issue is some issue with Azure.

It really doesn't even matter why it failed. Shifting blame on Azure doesn't change the fact that GitHub is becoming more and more unreliable.

I don't get how Microsoft views this level of service as acceptable.

Doesn't seem like Microsoft managers care - it's not their core business, so any time anyone complains about issues with GitHub they probably think something along the line of "peasants whining again".

Must be nice to be a monopoly that has most of the businesses in the world as their hostages.

		At one point Gitlab seemed like it wanted to compete, but then they killed all the personal and SMB plans, and now they’re just out of the picture for a lot of people. Their team plan is more expensive that GH’s enterprise plan.

Sadly Github moving more into Azure will expose the fragility of the cloud platform as a whole. We've been working around these rough edges for years. Maybe it will make someone wake up, but I don't think they have any motivation to.

Which is again even worse.
