Scaling Git for the agentic software factory

This post details GitLab's ongoing development of next-generation SCM designed for agentic software development. It highlights the architectural shift towards stateless compute and shared object storage, agent-native interfaces for efficient data retrieval, and performance improvements (up to 50x faster workloads, 2x fewer tokens, 1000x less network traffic in early tests). It also emphasizes the integration of this SCM with GitLab's broader vision for a governed software factory, including context graphs (GitLab Orbit), agent orchestration (GitLab Duo Agent Platform), and accountability features. The post reinforces the commitment to Git compatibility and open collaboration.
