If GitHub uses GitHub to deploy GitHub, what happens when GitHub goes down?


This is a guess, but I'm assuming they use the same software running in an independent environment just for them.


Heaven (our deployment tool) does deploy GitHub.com directly from the file servers. But, most of our infrastructure directly relies on GitHub too (such as the Merge API from the blog post, service hooks, and a bunch of OAuth minapps).
