alt Hacker NewsNothing is pissing me off more than GitHub's stability going down the tubes RIGHT as work is migrating everything, and I mean everything, from CircleCI to GH.
The wildest thing is that Azure Repos/Pipelines was better than this.
Their one caveat is also that they are still migrating it to Azure infra, so it's possible that's still in a one foot in one foot out kinda scenario, from what I've heard. But, this isn't inspiring confidence.

Two weeks ago I had a commission to explore migrating from selfhosted gitlab to github for better AI integration. Last night that project was cancelled due to github outages and we're going to upgrade the self hosted server instead. I'd be tempted to use something like forgejo but there are a dozen devs and honestly I've only ever used it solo.
Azure repos are kinda fine. It's really basic and there is nothing to break. I actually really really like their ticketing thingy for the same reason. It has the necessary stuff and the management types can't add a million of fields to it and annoy me with reporting, burndown charts or what not.
We ended up an Azure Pipelines kinda by default because it was there and mostly paid for with the intention of later migrating, but it's been fine. Boring but stable and functional.
Out of interest: what VCS where you using with CircleCI? (as CircleCI is VCS agnostic)
i might be connecting unrelated dots, yet when i read "migration to Azure" this came back to me

I'm on the other side of the fence. We're just about done migrating from GitHub to GitLab (self-hosted) and it's been refreshing to DGAF about any of the GH outages I read about.
If you’re making this change now, I wonder how the technical leadership evaluated GitHub and its competitors.. and then still landed on GH.
What made it better than e.g GitLab?

Why do you care about github? It’s Just another corporation doing what they know best: harvesting money. The software ecosystem can live without github just fine
Mee too. We just did a very similar migration at work it's incredibly frustrating, I've got all my CI ported over and now this.
MSFT should just create slophub.com they'd make money im sure.

Github uptime down to 86% according to https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/ (not my website)
They're claiming a huge increase in traffic due to vibe coded projects. It might just be an excuse, but it certainly seems plausible to me.
