Keep your automations running when GitHub is down

Retry with a growing delay, send failures to an error workflow, and get alerted when runs stop succeeding. In n8n, every node has a Retry On Fail setting; Make has Break error handlers that retry incomplete executions; Zapier can replay failed runs with Autoreplay. Datvero watches the runs of your n8n, Make and Zapier workflows and alerts you when they fail, whatever the cause.

Where is the official GitHub status page?

GitHub publishes it at https://www.githubstatus.com/. This page republishes its public feed every 5 minutes with timestamps. Datvero is not affiliated with GitHub.

Why does GitHub fail when the status page is green?

When the status page is green but calls fail, read the HTTP code. The GitHub REST API answers 403 or 429 when you exceed a primary or secondary rate limit, with x-ratelimit-remaining at 0 for the primary limit. That is a limit, not an outage: wait for the reset time given in the response headers.

Is GitHub down for everyone or only for me?

The status page lists what GitHub has declared. If it is green and you still see errors, read the error code, retry with a growing delay, and check whether the problem is specific to your account, your region or one integration. A green page does not prove that every request to GitHub succeeds.

How do I keep my automations running when GitHub is down?

Retry with a growing delay, send failures to an error workflow, and get alerted when runs stop succeeding. In n8n, every node has a Retry On Fail setting; Make has Break error handlers that retry incomplete executions; Zapier can replay failed runs with Autoreplay. Datvero watches the runs of your n8n, Make and Zapier workflows and alerts you when they fail, whatever the cause.

Method: GitHub's public status API (www.githubstatus.com/api/v2) is read every 5 minutes, its incident list every 15 minutes, and each incident is kept with its official timestamps. Durations run from the first post to the resolved post. Machine readable copy: services.json. HTTP codes: GitHub Docs, Rate limits for the REST API. Official source: https://www.githubstatus.com/.
