Assurda crescita dell'attività su GitHub dovuta all'AI, era già notevole ad aprile, da aprile a oggi lo è ancora di più.
Due disservizi recenti sono stati causati proprio dalla scala:
Neither outage was caused by a code or configuration change. Both incidents were capacity failures at their core. We failed to scale critical components before demand exceeded their capacity. Since April, monthly commits have grown from 1.4 billion to 2.9 billion. That growth explains the pressure on our systems, but it does not excuse these outages.
E continua la migrazione verso Azure perché la capacità dei datacenter proprietari pare essere terminata:
As part of the reliability commitments we made earlier this year, we have focused on three priorities: adding capacity, improving efficiency, and removing architectural bottlenecks. We have since added more than 3 million CPU cores, 120 petabytes of high-speed storage, and significant network capacity. We installed as much hardware as available power allowed in our existing data centers while accelerating our migration to Azure.
Today, Azure serves roughly 58% of GitHub’s platform load and half of all Git operations, up from 12% of platform load in May. This expanded footprint has also supported the growth in GitHub Actions job runs shown below.
