GitHub Back Online After Service Outage

Posted by timothy on from the you-were-asleep-face-it dept.

The Next Web reports that GitHub — home to many open source projects — suffered (and quickly recovered from) a service outage this morning, starting around 14:00 UTC. Other than that the problem "appears to have been caused by its database server," the cause isn't clear.

    But describing 14:00 as morning is a bit too much.

      GitHub is based in San Francisco. The time given is UTC. 14:00 UTC is 7am in San Francisco. "Morning" is a local time reference.
