GitHub says secret protection must scan pushes in under 2ms

Original: Secret protection must scale with software: <2ms classifier in the push path

GitHub has detailed a secret protection system that runs a classifier in the push path, checking code for leaked credentials in under 2 milliseconds so scanning does not slow developers down. The company argues that blocking exposed API keys and tokens must scale with the volume of software being pushed, and discussion centres on the engineering trade-offs of real-time detection.

Why now: Developers are debating GitHub's engineering approach to detecting leaked secrets without adding push latency.
