Here is the first in a series of interviews I conducted in October at DevOps Days NYC. My first interview is with Mark Imbriaco, ops dude extraordinaire at GitHub who previously ran ops for 37signals, Heroku, and LivingSocial.
GitHub, if you’re not familiar with it is a code hoster that boasts around 5 million users and close to 10 million individual repositories. Through the magic of its “pull request” feature it has vastly increased participation in open source projects and accelerated innovation. Listen to Mark and learn more.
Some of the ground Mark covers:
- How did GitHub rise to prominence and eclipse SourceForge as the developer repository of choice
- Success Metrics
- GitHubs architecture
- What are GitHubs challenges as it moves forward
- How the “pull request,” the killer app of GitHub, work
