GitHub Actions is in major outage and Pages is experiencing degraded performance after GitHub identified a database primary issue and began failing over to a replica on Aug 26, 2026.

WHY IT MATTERS

CI/CD pipelines depending on GitHub Actions are failing, and Pages deployments are degraded. Recovery depends on the database replica failover completing successfully, with no stated ETA for resolution.
