TBF, no, established companies tend to have something between 99.9% and 99.99% of uptime. It only increases if the company is explicitly focused on it, at a large cost that usually needs to be paid by some customer.

But Github pretends to be one of those companies that focus on uptime. And it's also less than 99% right now. So yeah, the main point stands.

Yeah that's fair. It's part of the advertising in some sectors, but not all. A lot of the companies I've bought products from tend to advertise their uptime, and that's the type of company I think about when I think about uptime stats. However, a lot of the companies I've sold products to tended to not talk about it, and their uptime was often in the 2 nines to 3 nines, if not a lot worse. Somehow they still managed to keep going lol. Some of them anyway.
