Show HN: R/place for Git – Open-source Git server sustaining 567 pushes/s

2 points by svemyh 6 hours ago

hey hn, sven from Reason Machines (YC F26).

we've been experimenting with how fast we can push our ci/cd and code storage systems when swarms of coding agents are all pushing at once. turns out giving 100 agents git push basically ddos'es normal git servers.

so we wrote aspen: an open-source git server (apache 2.0) that hits 567 pushes/sec on a single 8-core box with stock git clients.

to stress test it live, we put up a shared canvas where every pixel is a real git push: https://place.reasonmachines.com
