Global Engineering Scale-Up
GitHub collaborated with Andela to rapidly expand its engineering capabilities, focusing on platform reliability, infrastructure scalability, and feature velocity during peak global growth periods.
The story
behind it
As GitHub's user base surged, their internal teams faced challenges in keeping pace with feature demands while maintaining 99.9% availability. Andela provided a specialized squad of senior engineers to integrate directly into GitHub's core product teams.
What stood in the way
Scaling a distributed system that supports millions of developers requires specialized knowledge in Ruby on Rails, Go, and massive-scale database architecture. GitHub needed engineers who could contribute immediately without extensive onboarding.
How we made it happen
Andela deployed a team of 25+ senior software engineers across various time zones. These engineers focused on refactoring legacy monoliths into microservices, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and implementing advanced monitoring solutions.
