You should never entirely depend on a third party service for deployments.

Been burned too many times on that one.

Ok.

Move to EC2.

Darn AWS is down.

Alright, run it on a Mac Mini in your basement. Ahh dawn, your ISP is having issues. Good thing you have a backup 5G hotspot.

Ohh no, the power is out.

Eventually you have to trust someone else.

GitHub is a tragedy of the Commons. Too many people are using it, and Microsoft isn't willing to handle it correctly.

Feels like a very good business opportunity. Minimum 50k yearly contracts, GitHub with actual uptime. GitPro ?

You should never entirely depend on a third party service to run your tests, either.
