Infrastructure Architecture

Understand the global infrastructure powering .git, including our edge network, compute layers, storage systems, and security boundaries.

Overview

.git is built on a distributed, multi-region architecture designed for maximum availability, low-latency deployments, and seamless scaling. Our infrastructure abstracts away complex cloud operations while giving you full control over your deployment targets.

Global Edge Network

Our edge network spans 300+ locations across 6 continents. Static assets, CDN caches, and HTTP/3 connections are terminated at the nearest edge node before routing to your compute layer.

Compute & Auto-Scaling

.git supports both provisioned and serverless compute models. Auto-scaling is handled via custom metrics and predictive algorithms that analyze traffic patterns 24h in advance.

# Compute configuration\ncompute:\n  model: auto  # provisioned | serverless | auto\n  min_instances: 2\n  max_instances: 50\n  scaling:\n    metric: cpu_utilization\n    threshold: 70\n    cooldown: 60s

Storage & Databases

Persistent storage is decoupled from compute. We support multiple storage backends with automatic failover and cross-region replication.

\n
• Object Storage: S3-compatible buckets with 99.999999999% durability
\n
• Managed Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis, and MongoDB with automated backups
\n
• Blob Cache: Redis-backed distributed cache with edge invalidation
\n

Networking & DNS

All .git domains are provisioned on our private DNS network. You can attach custom domains with automatic SSL provisioning via ACME/Let's Encrypt.

$ git dns add example.com --type CNAME --value \"my-app.git.dev\"\n✓ DNS record created (propagation: ~30s)\n✓ SSL certificate issued (Let's Encrypt)\n

Security & Compliance

Security is baked into every layer of the infrastructure. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Network isolation is enforced via VPC peering and zero-trust principles.

Compliance Certifications

\n
• SOC 2 Type II
\n
• ISO 27001

Region Selection

Choose your primary region based on your user base. Cross-region replication is available for disaster recovery and compliance requirements.
