| GitHub has always been incredibly outage riddled no? This is not a MSFT thing |

| I don't remember that happening so much (if ever) in, say, 2016. But the frequency of noticeable incidents seemingly has been rising steadily since around 2023. The Azure migration apparently only exacerbated it. |

Especially if you were using a package manager reliant on GitHub like Cocoapods. It seems to me it is more "impactful" on the dev community now that they have gone past just being a centralized Git server for the team, to being the thing that does deploys and all sorts of other things. | |

| I think having a single 9 of uptime is a relatively new thing even for GH |
