GitHub reports May availability, AI drives growth

GitHub's May availability report details nine incidents causing degraded performance, but highlights significant infrastructure upgrades. The platform is experiencing rapid traffic growth, largely fueled by AI-assisted development workflows. To manage this surge, GitHub is migrating services to Azure for elastic capacity and breaking down its monolithic architecture into isolated services. This strategic shift aims to enhance reliability and eliminate past failure points, with substantial progress already made in migrating monolith traffic and increasing overall capacity.
