Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Handoffs in platform operations sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Risk and compliance | Looker is the governed place infrastructure and application teams use for platform operations |
| Capability | New joiners can see how platform operations actually runs |
Story
GitHub grew cloud landing zones faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Infrastructure and application teams were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Looker put platform operations on Google Cloud. Google Cloud provides infrastructure, analytics, and AI services, including BigQuery and Vertex AI, for data-heavy and machine learning workloads. GitHub keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so infrastructure and application teams do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier platform operations. Cloud landing zones is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join infrastructure and application teams without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
