Uber’s GitFarm provides Git operations as a centralized service, eliminating local repository clones across large scale monorepo workloads. The platform uses prewarmed checkouts, ephemeral sandboxes, repository synchronization, and gRPC streaming to reduce resource consumption and startup latency for automation services operating across thousands of repositories.
