+# Keeping an eye on your repository size
+
+Maintaining a monorepo comes with its challanges, one of which
+is monitoring the evolution of the repository.
+
+Fabio will talk about a [new plugin](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/git-repo-metrics)
+to systematically collect metrics about a git repository.
+This is crucial in particular when dealing with a monorepo.
+The new metrics allow, for example, planning of GC cycles,
+alerting when a GC is not effective or help with the capacity
+planning of the hardware.
