SO LONG, SPOKES: GITHUB REWRITES STORAGE TO RESTORE RELIABILITY, JUST IN TIME FOR AGENTIC HORDES
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
GitHub is rebuilding its Git storage architecture from scratch. Early internal testing shows a promising 35x write improvement. The plan involves decoupling writes from reads, offloading maintenance, and letting object storage manage redundancy. The change won't alter developer workflows, review processes, or security controls.
