Hi, this is derek ferguson, the interim senior product manager for the gidley group here at gitlab, and today I'm going to be going over what we are working on in the 13 7 release of git lab. So the first thing that we have going on is that we will continue work on the variable replication factor for giddley cluster.

A

This allows for users with giddily cluster to horizontally scale, their storage within the cluster, as well as specify for each repository exactly how many times it's replicated across the cluster. This allows for more active repositories to be scaled up more and for more inactive repositories to be scaled down to optimize storage usage within the nodes.

A

This will also enable us to eventually allow for automatic rebalancing within the cluster. So this really sets us up for a lot of improvements over the next few releases.

A

Continuing on a theme that we've had for several releases of improving stability and performance of gili, we are going to continue our work on moving uh giddily code from ruby into go to allow for better performing code within the rpc calls for all of italy and then, finally, we are going to continue working on partial clone.

A

This will allow for much better, more optimized cloning of large mono repos, as well as repos with large files.

A

This will reduce the network traffic and latency by only cloning, the files within the repository that you specifically need using a filter for the clone.

A

This will also help with local storage in not cloning, those large files that you may or may not be working on at that time. Those are the big things that we have going on. Obviously, we will continue to work on multiple bug fixes, as well as more stability and performance improvements across the board.

Thank you very much for listening, and I hope that you will comment on these issues uh for things that are important to you and let us know what you are looking for in gilly in the next few releases. All right, thank you very much.
