Repository egress
Users generate Repository egress events for every fetch operation in Git. It
includes commands like git clone, git fetch and git pull, because all of
them request data from Gitaly that needs to be delivered to the end user.
Two main clients of Gitaly traffic are GitLab Shell(for SSH traffic) and Workhorse (for HTTP traffic).
Both clients send git-upload-pack command to Gitaly and stream back the
Git response that contains requested changes.
Current metrics
| Service | Number of git-upload-pack events (per day)
|
|---|---|
| Workhorse | ~80 million |
| GitLab Shell | ~85 million |
| Gitaly | ~165 million (combined traffic) |
