Agenetic economy is taking over.

GitHub recorded 7.38 B commits in Sept-2026, more than 5 times the figure a year earlier.

And up to now this year, GitHub has added 4M CPU cores, 160PB of high-speed storage and 50Tb/s of network capacity to absorb a flood of agent-written code.

That curve already outran GitHub’s hardware once, when a traffic surge knocked out authentication, Actions, pull requests and Copilot for 7 hours and 47 minutes on 17 August.

GitHub is now moving to a multi-region Azure deployment, due to finish early next year, and rebuilding Git to decouple storage from compute.

Satya Nadella (@satyanadella): We’re redefining the SDLC for the agentic era.

Lots of GitHub updates this morning at Universe:

• GitHub Copilot Fusion delivers frontier-level quality, 40% faster and at up to 77% lower cost

• Our unified Copilot harness is now in Foundry, a managed service for building
