GitHub: Incident with Actions, API Requests and Webhooks
Timeline of updates
- resolved
Between April 3rd, 2024 23:15 UTC and April 4th, 2024 01:10 UTC, GitHub Actions experienced a partial infrastructure outage that led to degraded workflows (failed or delayed starts). Additionally, 0.15% of Webhook deliveries were degraded due to an unrelated spike in database latency in a single availability zone. SLOs for Actions were 90% during the incident, but this was not evenly distributed across customers. We statused green after a long stretch of recovered SLOs, starting at April 4th, 2024 00:35 UTC. During this incident, we also had issues with incident tooling (https://www.githubstatus.com/ (opens in new tab)) failing to update the public status page and occasionally not loading. The incident was resolved after the infrastructure issue was mitigated at 2024-04-04 04:27 UTC. We are working to improve monitoring and processes in response to this incident. We are investigating how we can improve resilience and our communication with our infrastructure provider, and how we can better handle ongoing incidents that are no longer impacting SLOs. We are also improving our incident tooling to ensure that the public status page is updated in a timely manner.
