Comment on GitHub Has an Availability Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere?

If the problem really stems from capacity issues and the unexpected growth rate, maybe the way forward is further limiting / throttling capacity to free tier users, and increased costs for paid users to allow more expansion (in compute / personnel). Get rid of some of the baked in Co-Pilot integrations that might be compounding the extra workloads.

Yes, I’m curious just how much of the scaling issues might be self-inflicted.

Also I’d like to see the distribution of usage. I’m guessing a relatively small portion of accounts are responsible for the majority of load.

Probably 20/80 (Pareto) principle.
