On Monday, Microsoft announced that they were buying Gittahb for $ 7.5 billion. GitHab is a startup company and website where various users can save and host their software projects. From here, you can download and download any project and edit it later. This site is launched to help with software development.
Microsoft has already bought many companies as a tech giant. They also acquired LinkedIn in recent times. Microsoft started acquiring these startup companies to improve their core products and services. So, what is the profit of Microsoft buying Gittahab?
GitHab is a cloud based service. And you must know that Microsoft has its own Azure cloud computing service. Microsoft is focusing on the development of their cloud services more significantly than ever before. So buying GitHab if they can integrate it well with AZUR, it would be good to fight Amazon, with other cloud computing competitors, including Google.
On one side, GitHab is a very favorite platform for developers and programming fans. On the other hand, the support of developer community is crucial to Microsoft's own product development.
Microsoft's visual studio code and dot net framework are very popular developer tools. If GitHab is widely integrated with Microsoft, developers will be more attracted to Microsoft products. It will be said to be Microsoft's profit books and more heavily.
GitHab Software is a great way to host the project, but also as a social network. Thousands of professional developers and students can share software development with their community here.
To run the software, users / developers have to download the code / package and run it on their device. But if Microsoft can manage GitHab to run the cloud software by adding their azure cloud platforms, then it will be a very lucrative feature for many developers. Because developers will be excited to use Microsoft Azure without using Google, Amazon and other cloud computing services.
Microsoft has already started integration of many features of Gitehb with its services. So wait, let's see what is!
