GitHub availability report: August 2026
In August, we experienced five incidents that resulted in degraded performance across GitHub services.
1.1.1.1 now supports post-quantum DNSSEC, all 2,420 bytes of it
1.1.1.1 now validates DNSSEC signatures using NIST’s post-quantum ML-DSA-44 algorithm. Here is how we manage 2,420-byte signatures and downgrade risks at scale.

How we rebuilt Cloudflare Workers’ module registry for Node.js compatibility
Workers now enables Node.js compatibility by default, supports applications up to 64 mebibytes, and adds a URL-based module registry with import.meta, lazy compilation, shared code caches, and clearer errors.
The Death Of The Button: Why The Best Interface Is No Interface
TThe web is evolving beyond menus, forms, and endless clicks toward experiences shaped around human intent. For UX designers, understanding this shift means re-evaluating their role, moving from designing visible interfaces to guiding transparent, intent-driven AI experiences.
Automatic Key Exchange: faster, post-quantum secure origin handshakes for 45 billion daily connections (and counting)
Automatic Key Exchange probes TLS 1.3-capable customer origins to learn which key agreement algorithms they support. We then lead with the most secure algorithm when connecting to the origin, preferring post-quantum connections wherever the origin supports it.

ZGateway: Learnings from Putting a Proxy in Front of ZippyDB
We’re introducing ZGateway, the proxy we are using to unify traffic through ZippyDB, Meta’s most widely-used key value store. As a bonus, it also enables admission control, load balancing, cross-region resilience, and richer operations. ZippyDB is the most widely used key value store at Meta, backing product metadata, counters, and configuration, and can serve billions […]

How we make AI coding more cost efficient without sacrificing task quality
Why shorter outputs can cost more, and how GitHub Copilot reduces wasted work across the complete coding task.
An Organizational Second Brain: Building an AI That Learns From Experts
We’ve built an AI agent that acts as a secondary expert for a given domain, making deep specialist knowledge readily available and preserved for anyone in an organization to access, share, and build upon. This is not a typical domain-specific agent. Its novelty comes from integrating two layers: A structured, auditable knowledge architecture separates what […]
