Platform Engineering Meets SCM
summary
SCM is treated as a platform for 50,000+ engineers and ~100,000 accounts, not a mere tool; unified policies, event-based listeners and runbooks automate onboarding, repo provisioning, license activation/reactivation and push/read permissions; scans like CodeQL and gas run at push to shift left; GitHub Copilot and GitLab Duo integrate for automated code reviews; results at Qualcomm show access down 46%, onboarding under 30 minutes, incident response time down 73%, plus federated SSO, allow‑lists and a defined minimum security baseline.
