"Microsoft acquired GitHub in 2018 for $7.5 billion, in a move that was nervously received by the developer community at the time. The company has mostly remained independent at Microsoft since then, but the resignation of former CEO Thomas Dohmke less than two months ago has shaken up how GitHub operates. GitHub is now gearing up for a huge migration over to Microsoft's own Azure servers, just months after Dohmke's resignation memo."
"The change is part of GitHub moving even more closely into Microsoft's CoreAI team, something that started happening when GitHub moved into Microsoft's developer division back in 2021. I'm told that GitHub has been accelerating its integration into Microsoft in recent weeks, ahead of a broader return to office mandate from Microsoft that will impact GitHub employees next year."
Microsoft acquired GitHub in 2018 for $7.5 billion. The company largely remained independent inside Microsoft until the recent resignation of CEO Thomas Dohmke less than two months ago, which changed GitHub operations. GitHub will migrate to Microsoft's Azure servers over the next 12 months, a move described internally as existential for the developer platform. The migration aligns with deeper integration into Microsoft's CoreAI team after GitHub joined Microsoft's developer division in 2021. GitHub has been accelerating integration work in recent weeks and preparing for a broader return-to-office mandate that will affect GitHub employees next year. CTO Vladimir Fedorov announced the migration internally.
