Recently, Github is acquired by Microsoft, but this deal doesn’t cause any shortage of confusion in the community of developers. Many of the people are very miserable with the deal of Microsoft; some users of Microsoft are so very disappointed, they are migrating to the competitors GitLab service.
The GitHub and Microsoft, both parties have a lot to gain, but it is valued talking that what this exactly mean for the companies at the heart of this deal.
However, the main thing Microsft is getting by acquiring the Github is only stability.
After completing the ten years, as an independent company, GitHub has heaved above $350 million from the investors and also managed the position itself at the heart of the software development.
During the primary nine months of 2016, the company hemorrhaged an implausible $66 million, in spite of this, Microsoft yet is making a profit.
Let’s Microsoft to attaining which means that GitHub doesn’t have to go cap-in-hand to the investors, who might demand major changes in the product and business models of Microsoft, and in exchange for their cash.
At the top GitHub has faced lots of troubles and also struggling with replacing its CEO, Chris Wanstrath. From one of the established and innovative business units, Microsoft should easily parachute one of its execs into this position.
In brief, the Microsoft acquisition could provide GitHub, it needs the leadership and stability which can be a superior thing for developers, who have built their complete workflows around this essential product, and it is also susceptible to any other big changes.
What is Microsoft getting out of the Deal?
With a confined audience of millions of developers, Microsoft would be in an excellent position to make this a reality. Now, Let’s talk about the Azure.
Microsoft could bind in GitHub to its enterprise, is offering a single bundle. I could easily perceive a Visual Studio Professional/Enterprise tie-in and GitHub. In fact, many of the users or investors would welcome it.
Acquiring the GitHub is a big PR move of the Microsoft. Positioning at the heart of open source development is one of the great strategies for a Microsoft company, and they are worried to shake off the inheritance of “embrace, extend, and extinguish.”
Over the years, GitHub was promising as a bit of a monopoly, is one of another benefit for the Microsoft.
It will be very interesting that GitLab and BitBucket take advantage of the new influx of users and the subscription money.
