GitHub Events Are Booming! Are Bots the Reason?

The increasing use of bots may be due to an increased use of Infra-as-codes or other integrations. Git is no longer a mere code management system. It's already part of the production infrastructure.

In the current company, we have github-action based CI/CD. On top of that, we have config management via git, deployment via Pulumi (also on git). And we are also exploring describing k8s controller workflows with yaml configs.

It seems that GitHub is really in a good place for becoming a company for "production infrastructure minus codes". I'm wondering if there'll be some competitors in this field.

I can't agree anymore.

GitHub action or GitHub bot helps us complete a lot of tedious work, and it is replicable. We can apply the practical experience of other excellent open-source projects to our own projects by installing GitHub APP easily or fork GitHub Action of other repositories, so as to improve production efficiency.

Because of this, the activity of robots increases so frequently.

Well, sometimes I feel that GitHub's service is unstable, is that because of the increasing massive data? It seems made the server too stressful.
