Empower your distributed teams to collaborate as one, with no downtime, no disruption, and consistent security policy enforcement across all locations – making global development feel local.
What is Git Active MultiSite?
Git Active MultiSite (Git AMS) is the invisible engine that powers elite, worldwide development teams. It enables true Active-Active replication for your Git repositories, meaning every site is a live, writable copy. There is no complex proxy server setup and no single point of failure.
Git AMS handles all the complexities of keeping your repository replicas perfectly up-to-date and consistent, while a central management console gives your administrators global control. Your developers get a faster, more reliable Git experience without ever needing to know it's there.
Your Global Repositories,
Perfectly in Sync
Enhance Operational Continuity
- High Availability: When deployed in a cluster, Git AMS creates a fully highly-available environment, ensuring continuous operation even if a server fails.
- Seamless Disaster Recovery: Configure a remote disaster recovery site, and all repositories replicated to it will be kept perfectly up-to-date with your operational replicas.
- Automatic Catch-up After Outages: Network and server outages happen. Git AMS enables fully automatic catch-up of all write operations performed at the sites that remained online, with no administrator interaction required.
Improve Developer Efficiency
- Fast Local Clones: Repository "read" operations are served from the closest server to your users, minimizing latency and the time it takes to clone large repositories.
- Quick and Robust Pushes: Configurable data redundancy policies allow you to dial in the perfect balance between performance, speed, and recoverability for your organization's needs.
- Single "Upstream" Consistency: Every replica is updated using a family operations stream, guaranteeing 100% consistency across all replicas after every operation.
Increase Security & Control
- Built-in Git Authorization Control: Git itself has no built-in access control mechanism. Git Active MultiSite provides a simple and effective access control layer, enabling proper control over your intellectual property.
- Selective Replication: You have the power to choose which repositories get replicated to which sites. This allows you to enforce access policies required in specific industries and deploy lower-cost, smaller servers for locations that only need access to a subset of repositories.
BlueOptima enables Developer Productivity.
Git Active MultiSite removes the barriers of distance and infrastructure. By creating a single, cohesive, and high-performance Git environment, you unlock the full potential of your global development talent and empower them to deliver better code, faster.
Single "upstream" repository consistency
Each replica in a repository family is updated using a family operations stream enabling 100% consistency of all replicas after replication.
Automatic catch-up after offline events
Network and server outages happen. GitMS enables fully automatic catch-up of all write operations done at the sites that remained up. No administrator interaction involved.
High availability
When GitMS is deployed in a cluster it will enable a fully highly available environment.
Disaster recovery
When a remote disaster recovery site is configured all repositories replicated to it will be kept up to date with all of the other operational replicas.
Selective replication
You can choose which sites get which repositories. This enables access policies required in specific industries. It also enables lower cost (smaller size) servers for locations that require access to fewer repositories.
Fast local clones
Repository “read” operations are latency close to your users minimizing the time required to do those clones.
Fastest robust pushes
Configurable data redundancy policies enable best performance for the compromise between redundancy, recoverability and speed.
Enables Git authorization control
Git itself has not built-in access control mechanism. Git MultiSite enables a simple yet effective access control mechanism enabling proper control of your intellectual property.
Case Studies from
Global Leaders
Key Results:
Scalability solution for a major phone manufacturer
Challenge
- Horizontal scalability issues with 9,000+ users and 11,000+ repositories.
- The Gerrit "high availability" plugin, which supports multiple read-only sites, was insufficient to handle the high access load on the read-write server.
Results
- Implemented BlueOptima’s DConE solution, deploying 7 multi-primary sites across various locations to distribute and manage the end-user load effectively.
- Continued use of the Gerrit "high availability" plugin to offload simple Git clones and fetches.
Efficient global collaboration for an electronics manufacturer
Challenge
- Need for efficient collaboration across global development sites.
- Requirement for fast access to large files during Git checkouts.
Results
- Enabled efficient global collaboration by replicating Git LFS storage across development sites. This ensures large files are latency-close, allowing for quick downloads and improved productivity.
- Allowed for cost-effective management by locating Git project repositories only where needed, optimizing server usage for specific use cases.
Robust, no-failure software development for an automotive manufacturer
Challenge
- Eliminate single points of failure in a single data center setup.
- Ensure seamless maintenance without downtime.
Results
- Deployed 3 primary-primary sites with single-copy identical data. This setup allows any one site to be taken down for maintenance while the other two remain fully operational in read-write mode.
- Prevents server stalls by ensuring data is not locked in a down site, maintaining smooth operations.
- Proxy server positioned in front of the three sites to ensure seamless availability and access.
