No its not. 121M repos added on github in 2025, and overall they have 630 million now. There is probably at best 2x increased in output (mostly trash output), but no where near 100x

Published in Oct 2025... I think your estimate is off.

Note the hockey stick growth in the graph they showed in Oct.

Here we are in February.

It's gotten way worse now with additional Claude's, Claw's, Ralph's, and such.

It may not be 100x as was told to me but it's definitely putting the strain on the entire org.

But thats not even the top 5 strain on github, their main issue is the forced adoption of Azure. I can guarantee you that about 99% of repos are still cold, as in very few pulls and no pushes and that hasn't changed in 3 months. Storage itself doesn't add that much strain on the system if the data is accessed rarely.


I put the blame squarely on GitHub and refuse to believe it’s a vendors fault. It’s their fault. They may be forced to use Azure but that doesn’t stop one from being able to deliver a service.

I’ve done platforms on AWS, Azure, and GCP. The blame is not on the cloud provider unless everyone is down.

Doubling down by insisting that the data is out of date, when the data is 3 months old and the latest available is unconvincing.

If you're telling me that in December it went from 2x to 100x then I don't believe you.
