I don't work with JS or related ecosystems, but how common are NPM outages?

It’s been super reliable, in my experience, and given their traffic volume, I’m pretty impressed with that.

The other day I needed to use it for the first time in a year. A package that is used in many other packages host by npm was returning a 404. Slowly stackoverflow started to fill up with similiar questions.

Apppearly 4 important packages were unavailable in my region because they were deleted by accident. Some people were vpning into Europe, I found an Italian mirror.

Not sure if things are always that crazy but I don't have a reliable feel.
