GerritMeets

GerritMeets is back at Google Munich's office! After last year's success the kind folks of the Google Developer Group Cloud Munich will be hosting another of our Gerrit events.

This time we'll be looking at what performance in the age of AI looks like for SCM systems and how moving to ARM chips architecture can help you not only achieve your performance goals, but also at a fraction of the cost.

Join us for what promises to be another exciting GerritMeets!

Agenda Highlights:
The evening will feature two talks, one from our very own Ponch and a second one which will be announced soon! Stay tuned, it'll be a good one.

Lightning Talk 1: Scaling Git for the AI Era: Automated Load Testing in Large-Scale SCM

AI-assisted development tools (like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code) have replaced human-paced workflows with relentless, high-velocity automated Git traffic, causing enterprise infrastructure bills to skyrocket. SCM systems must now scale faster and more resiliently than ever to avoid catastrophic, multi-million dollar developer downtime, and as Git traffic scales, so do the infrastructure bills.

In this talk, Ponch shares how we tackled this challenge by building
specialized testing harnesses designed for extreme Git load testing. We will
demonstrate how we simulate massive, concurrent, AI-like workloads to stress-test any Git-based SCM instance, allowing teams to load test upgrades and protect production environments.

Furthermore, we will also share how ARM64 processors are uniquely suited for the highly concurrent, I/O-heavy nature of Git operations. By pitting x86 against ARM64 under these extreme simulated workloads, we prove how enterprises can simultaneously achieve higher resilience, slash cloud spend, and reduce their carbon footprint.
