GitHub Incident with Webhooks, Actions, etc.

What HN thinks

Developers bookmark githubstatus.com and dust off the old computer in the corner.

Time to self-host
Many say repeated outages pushed them to self-hosted GitLab, Gitea or Forgejo, reporting near-perfect uptime since switching.
Blame agents or Azure
Some attribute outages to a sixfold surge in agent-driven activity, while others blame the Azure migration or post-acquisition decline, and some suspect vibe coding.
Resolved isn't really resolved
Users report queued Actions and missing checks lingering hours after the incident was marked resolved, and argue for a deploy path outside CI.

Consensus: Most agree GitHub's reliability has become untenable and that alternatives or self-hosting are worth serious consideration.

Recommended in the comments

Forgejo (tool): Users praise its snappiness and near-100% uptime with self-hosted runners.
GitLab (product): Several teams switched to self-hosted GitLab after outages and feel it was right.
Gitea (tool): Reported zero downtime versus frequent GitHub issues.
Blacksmith (service): Quick migration and fastest runner in one team's benchmark, especially with Docker build cache.
Codeberg (service): Some find it stable, though others note it suits OSS rather than enterprise.
Tangled (service): Suggested as an alternative to GitHub.
