Story
Inside Salesforce, data platform operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Data engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Salesforce uses GitHub Copilot from Microsoft Azure as the working layer for analytics hosting. Microsoft Azure is a public cloud platform for infrastructure, data, AI, and application services used by enterprises to host and modernize workloads. The practical change is simple: data platform operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Salesforce gets from Microsoft Azure is a durable place to run data platform operations and a way for data engineers to see the same analytics hosting at the same time.
