The GitHub Well-Architected Framework is an open source-style, community-driven framework to curate the best way to deploy the GitHub platform. It combines key design principles, framework pillars, and opinionated, prescriptive content to drive assessments and deep dive on GitHub Platform technologies. It is also used to foster technical cohesiveness with GitHub’s customer-facing engineers, our growing Partner community, and key customer contributors.

GitHub Well-Architected provides an interactive and consistent approach for customers and partners to evaluate architectures, and implement designs that will scale over time.

Our goal is to provide you with foundational design thinking and practices to help you build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient codebases for your applications, built on top of the world’s leading AI-powered developer platform.

As key stakeholders in the success of your organization, a resilient, secure, and efficient GitHub Platform is foundational to fostering a collaborative and robust environment centered on maximizing the developer experience. GitHub Well-Architected is designed to guide you in both key decision-making opportunities as well as providing a feedback loop from experts in the field to enhance your learning, including GitHub customer-facing engineers as well as our incredible Partner community. It supplements existing resources like GitHub Docs to dive deeper on specific topics, supplementing with both contextual and implementation-related details.
