GitHub is migrating the vast majority of repositories to Azure to address 25ms round-trip latency caused by exponential growth in agent-driven Git traffic. By re-engineering write serialization and decoupling storage from compute, this architecture enables stateless replicas, providing low-latency infrastructure for large-scale automated code operations.

GitHub Migrates to Azure to Break Git Infrastructure Latency Bottlenecks
- Git traffic has grown exponentially due to agentic applications, hitting power and supply chain limits in traditional data centers
- Large-scale migration to Azure achieved by optimizing quorum write serialization mechanisms
- New architecture supports stateless replicas, significantly reducing read/write latency in cross-cloud environments
