| # The reftable backend: What it is, where it's headed, and why should you care? |
| |
| With release 2.45, Git has gained support for the "reftable" backend to read and write |
| references in a Git repository. While this was a significant milestone for Git, it wasn't the |
| end of GitLab's journey to improve scalability in repositories with many references. |
| In this talk you will learn what the reftable backend is, what work we did to improve it |
| even further and why you should care. |
