GerritForge keeps on working for improving the performance of using Gerrit with very large mono-repos, with millions of refs, hundreds of GBs and tens of millions of objects.
Luca presents the work done over the past two years for overcoming the significant difficulties:
What is the size of the largest repo you have?
- around 1GB
- around 10GB
- around 50GB
- around 100GB
- over 100GB
What is the most urgent problem for your mono-repos?
- memory or disk consumption on the server
- bandwidth consumption during git-upload-pack
- long refs negotiations during git-upload-pack
- huge binaries bloating the repository
- long replication times
- batch reindexing tasks piling up
