GitHub Copilot-assisted commerce infrastructure tooling
Elkjøp used Copilot-assisted tooling to move 200+ microservices without customer-visible downtime
Problem
Elkjøp's commerce platform depended on a single Azure region. Its engineers needed to establish another region while keeping retail transactions running.
Approach
Engineers used GitHub Copilot to build automation for replicating Kubernetes clusters and extending database and messaging services across regions. They brought more than 200 business-critical microservices into Azure Sweden Central during summer 2025.
Results
Takeaway
The reported result concerned the migration as a whole. Microsoft did not isolate Copilot's contribution to the absence of downtime.
