Big enterprises are on a different github deployment, so I doubt they are affected by this

In my experience, we were typically affected just like everyone else. Maybe a public company with its market cap in the billions isn't big enough.

Self host an infrastructure like real billion dollar companies.

Having worked at places with GitHub Enterprise, that isn’t much of an improvement. You could host something else, but almost everything in this space isn’t great at scale.

Im definitely not referring to GHE. Im talking about real self-hosting infra. It wasnt that long ago that this was possible, and cheaper and more reliable. It's a pay me now or pay me later argument. Everyone now is complaining about the pay me later part of these 'deals'

GitHub Enterprise means two things:

- The cloud-hosted service presumably on slightly different infra,

- The self-hosted version of GitHub that runs on hardware you own.

The second definitely counts as "real" self-hosting.

Enterprise Cloud was indeed affected by this (as of this morning)

I don't know how true that is nowadays, I think if you sign up to Enterprise Cloud you're in the same spot as everyone else

(maybe F500 people have their colocated box, but I have the impression that those are the "first class" seats (very expensive but _very few_) whereas enterprise cloud is the "business class" (loooooots of seats making a lot of money)

Depends, some of them use GH Enterprise but many (surprisingly) don't.

except the big enterprise I work at was for sure affected by this today haha

lol
