GitHub unveiled a new Git storage architecture that, in internal tests, sustained 5,000 concurrent agents on a single repository and 7,200 pushes per second while keeping read latency consistently low. Built on the principles of minimizing coordination and decoupling storage from compute, it serves as the infrastructure foundation for agent-scale development.
