General Availability of GitHub Cloud App

We’re excited to announce the General Availability of the GitHub Cloud App! This milestone follows extensive improvements, including a comprehensive threat modeling exercise and the mitigation of identified risks. 🎉

The GitHub Cloud App represents a significant advancement from our existing GitHub integrations, introducing key features like role-based, granular access control and increased API rate limits. These enhancements provide a more secure and scalable way to integrate with GitHub, laying a strong foundation for a richer developer experience in the future. Unlike PAT and OAuth-based integrations, the GitHub Cloud App uses short-lived tokens for authentication, eliminating the need to manually handle or store sensitive personal access tokens. This not only simplifies setup but also significantly reduces security risks, offering a modern and more efficient alternative aligned with GitHub’s best practices. 🚀
