GitHub experienced degraded performance affecting CodeQL, Webhooks, Actions, notifications, and Slack integration for 3.1 hours. CodeQL actions were experiencing delays and getting stuck in pending states or failing due to timeouts. The issue was traced to problems with a queuing service, which was resolved by scaling out the infrastructure, with all services gradually recovering and returning to normal operation.
