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.

I'm with you on that. I was just curious about Azure reliability stats.

They're actually ramping back up on AWS after Azure failed to scale to their needs.

They planned to be fully off AWS in 2027 but they're continuing to ramp usage.

Azure doesn't scale.
