Gogs
A lightweight, self-hosted Git service with a simple web UI, issues, and pull requests, distributed as a single Go binary. Standout trait is minimal resource footprint compared to GitLab, at the cost of slower feature development versus its Gitea/Forgejo forks.

⚙ Full Stack
A single statically-compiled Go binary embedding its own web server and SSH daemon, using SQLite by default with optional MySQL/Postgres backends. No external services required beyond the database.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Simple to run but not built for horizontal scale — it's a single-process binary with local repo storage, so scaling means vertical resizing or moving repo storage to shared block/NFS storage, not adding stateless replicas. Fine for small teams, not for GitHub-scale traffic.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Single-pod deploy is straightforward — one Go binary pod plus an optional Postgres pod (`postgres.pod:5432`) for production data safety instead of SQLite. Persist the `/data` volume for repos and config; the official image is small and mirror.gcr.io-friendly.
