Except it promises not to crash regularly.

I don't really see that as a USP considering;

1. SpaceXAI has shown no track record of being able to maintain uptime

2. By nature, any GitHub alternative is going to be a tiny fraction of the scale, so keeping it up should be expected

GitHub is crashing due to scaling pressure. Something GH is much more equipped to solve long term.

are they? given this has been happening frequently over past year and there's been minimal clear communication on their end on how they plan to address this

Azure is at capacity; GH offers a lot of services for free or heavily discounted. Especially when its public repo. These aren't profit generating for Microsoft, so they are not the priority with the capacity Azure has available. GH is probably struggling with these capacity and budget constraints. They also still have some AWS and non-azure DCs in use.

Once Azure's massive spend is online things will slowly get better.

How long term are we talking here? Github was acquired in 2018...

I think GH/Microsoft got caught by surprise to the huge usage number increase as a result of LLMs. Microsoft started rolling all of its DCs to OpenAI around 2019-2020 to begin LLM training, then we saw a huge GH increase in late 2024 and Azure was just out of capacity for infinite GH scale.

I guess we should all do our part to alleviate poor Microsoft's burden by migrating to better services.

They're really not, given they're running on Azure.

Is there any data on Azure being terrible with stability? Would love to see data than anecdotal stories.

There isn't and if there is it probably doesn't matter in GH's case. People are just speculating with zero knowledge.

I'd never put my data on anything owned by Musk. Period. I'd take lower availability from GitHub or a worse alternative (feature-wise) than move Origin.
