GitHub explains new Git storage design for thousands of concurrent agent writes
Overview
GitHub explains a new Git storage architecture built for agentic development, which separates object storage from reference updates so that only reference changes need coordination.
GitHub says that in internal testing the design supported 5,000 concurrent agents writing to one repository and 7,200 pushes per second while keeping read latency low.
The architecture is in limited private preview now, with a broader rollout planned for early next year, according to GitHub's announcement on X.
