⚙ Full Stack
Single Go binary bundling Git hosting, a web UI, and CI pipeline execution (via embedded Drone-style runners), with SQLite by default and optional external database support.
📈 Scaling Analysis
The single-binary design keeps ops simple and the Go runtime is efficient, but CI pipeline execution at scale needs dedicated runner pods to avoid contending with the Git-serving process — a pattern the project supports but requires deliberate configuration to realize. Git repo storage itself scales with attached disk rather than being distributed by default.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Runs as a single pod for small teams (SQLite mode) or an app pod plus a separate DB pod for larger deployments, reached via gitness-db.pod:5432. Mirror the official image via mirror.gcr.io; CI runners may need their own pods with Docker-in-Docker or Kaniko-style build isolation depending on pipeline requirements.
