Migrating to GitHub Enterprise safely and seamlessly - GitHub Universe 2017

Presented by Dylan Vassallo, Stripe.

Stripe recently moved 600 repos from GitHub to GitHub Enterprise with (almost) no disruption to our internal users. We considered declaring a “git holiday” for this, but even one day of downtime would have been unacceptable and we needed to be able to roll back quickly if something went wrong. We instead developed an incremental and reversible plan that made it possible for us to perform a nearly-seamless online migration. In this talk I’ll explain our approach to risky infrastructure changes like this one and share some specific learnings from our GitHub Enterprise project.
