GitHub Blog·7 hours ago·Incident
GitHub’s May 2026 availability report details nine incidents that degraded core services across github.com, GitHub Actions, pull requests, and GitHub Copilot.
The report ties broader reliability pressure to rapidly growing traffic from AI-assisted and agentic development workflows.
GitHub says it is shifting more traffic to Azure, isolating major services, improving database safeguards, and strengthening failover for affected Copilot model routes.
