Reply to comment by kkngs in [P] XetHub: We scaled Git to support 1 TB repos by rajatarya

Great question! There isn't a limit on single file size. Since we chunk each file into blocks the total size of the file isn't a limiting factor. Right now overall repo sizes can be up to 1TB but we have plans to scale that to 100TB in the next year.

Would love it if you could try out XetHub and share your thoughts after using it a bit.

Whats your model here? Is this just offered as a cloud based service? Can we host our own? The case where I'm interested has some challenges with client data, data residency, security etc.

We are still early in our thinking of business model - so would love to hear your thoughts on this.

In general, we are thinking about usage-based pricing based on compute, storage, and transfer.

Right now we offer a cloud-based multi-tenant service. We can also deploy into your cloud environment (VPC) as a single-tenant offering.

I would love to hear more about the use case you are thinking about - please DM me to talk more about it (and to hear more details on single-tenant offering).

This does look very interesting but I fear the business model hasn't had the same focus. There are ton of toolboxes, but people want solutions...

If you are splitting things into chunks, is there a file quantity limit?

No specific file limit. By scanning the files and chunking them the specific number of files in the repo doesn’t matter. But for each file in the repo we leave a pointer file that references the merkle tree entry for that file.
