You can run git on object storage if you re-make packfiles
↗
Comments
This development allows for more efficient storage of Git repositories in object storage systems. By adapting the packfile format, performance for larger repositories can significantly improve, making it feasible to use object storage for version control. This approach could influence how Git is integrated with cloud services.

A new packfile format was created for better compatibility with object storage.
The traditional Git structure faced performance issues with large repositories.
The adapted approach allows Git to function effectively without client-side changes.
THE READ
What the cluster adds up to.
The change involves implementing a modified packfile format that is more suitable for object storage, addressing previous performance drawbacks. This adaptation enables existing Git functionalities to operate effectively within object storage systems.
The cost of adopting this new system primarily involves the initial development of the new packfile format and the need for performance analysis to ensure it meets production requirements. However, once established, the benefits include quicker access and improved scalability for large repositories.
This approach may not perform optimally for all types of object storage or under certain configurations. Engineers will need to evaluate their specific use cases to ensure compatibility and performance benefits are realized.
