Software development has become increasingly distributed. Tools, pipelines, environments, dependencies, code reviews, documentation, and compliance all need orchestration. GitHub has evolved into the intelligent control plane that brings it all together. This session shows how to design a modern “software factory” using GitHub Actions, Codespaces, Copilot, and GHAS. All of these create an environment where teams deliver with speed, consistency, and confidence. We’ll focus on practical patterns for workflow standardization, automation, and AI-assisted governance.

You will learn:

• How to architect GitHub as the orchestration hub for the full software development lifecycle.
• Discover how to combine Actions, Codespaces, and Copilot to build consistent, scalable engineering workflows.
• Understand how governance, quality, and automation fit into an AI-accelerated software factory.
