About the team
GitLab Geo is an enterprise product feature, built to distribute GitLab self-hosted deployments to different geographic locations. This is achieved by replicating the entire GitLab dataset to new locations in a coordinated, consistent, and scalable manner. Data can be accessed from any of the locations whilst intelligent proxying techniques guarantee users have access to the most recent data.
Geo’s architecture addresses a number of customer problems that includes acceleration of proximity based data access and disaster recovery.
