GitHub Faces Multiple Service Disruptions in June 2025

GitHub, the cornerstone of developer collaboration, weathered three major service disruptions in June 2025, with cascading effects on critical tools like Actions and Copilot. The platform’s reliability came under scrutiny as performance metrics revealed stark delays and failures—47.2% of Actions runs were delayed by 14 minutes on average, while 21% failed outright during the June 5 incident. A misconfigured load spike triggered throttling, rippling into Copilot’s functionality and Pages deployments.

The June 12 outage further exposed systemic fragility, with Copilot’s coding agent paralyzed for over three hours. GitHub’s postmortem pledges configuration fixes and deployment safeguards, but the incidents underscore the risks of centralized infrastructure in an era where developer tools increasingly underpin blockchain projects and crypto-native workflows.
