The Scalability of GitLab

When I was over there, I had to learn all of my own stuff. It's an interesting problem, right? How much is reliability worth at scale? And how much does it cost? How do you build for 11 11 day when you have a billion users all at once? Things was massively impressive in China. The way they have to rearchitect things in order to accommodate for the load that they were having. Even today, like GitHub and GitLab still struggling decoupling storage and compute. They built on top of the knowledge they learned from Facebook about forking the storage engine underneath MySQL to RopniB.
