GoKawiilGitHub unveils new Git storage architecture for agentic development scale
GitHub announced a redesigned Git storage architecture at GitHub Universe that separates storage from compute and limits coordination to reference updates rather than entire pushes. Internal testing showed the system handling 5,000 concurrent agents on a single repository with 7,200 pushes per second while maintaining low-latency reads, and the rollout has migrated 99.99999% of repositories to Azure using scoped write quorums and virtual replicas on Azure Blob Storage.
