GitHub ships by measuring everything, instrumenting front end with BrowserMob and multiple CDNs and back end with Collectd/Graphite and New Relic, then reacting to concrete signals: 24,000 installs in 24 hours and 900 exceptions the same day drive immediate fixes. An internal Haystack streams exceptions so teams see frequencies and impact, Jenkins plus a Heaven API enables 17–200 second deploys and more than 20 deployments a day; topic-branch and subset deploys let changes hit limited servers for safe experiments.
