As the world's largest repository of open source code, GitHub faces unique scaling challenges. Have you ever wondered how we manage access to more than one million repositories, or how we scale our file storage tier for a fraction of what it would cost with network storage appliances? In this talk, I will cover the infrastructure that powers GitHub and explain the various components that we have built and open sourced to accomplish this task. In addition, I will explore a variety of other tools and techniques that we use at GitHub to bring you a fast, highly available cloud service, and how you can use this knowledge to improve your own enterprise.
