GitHub's new infra handles 24 hours of the busiest repo's traffic in 1 minute
Vjeux · x · 2026-10-30
At a GitHub event, a live benchmark compared legacy vs. new architecture: simulating 24 hours of the busiest git repo's traffic, the legacy setup hit 27 timeouts, while the new architecture processed the same load (roughly 140x more operations) in one minute with zero timeouts. The upgrade is widely read as prep for AI-era automated git workloads like high-frequency agent pushes.
