Git Scalability Layer for Large Monorepos

C6/10March 22, 2026
WhatA drop-in server and client protocol layer that makes git performant for massive monorepos without requiring teams to abandon git workflows.
SignalAn engineer at a well-known mid-size tech company explicitly states they are hitting git's scalability limits today on repository size and rate of change, and others note that this is a growing pain across the industry.
Why NowMonorepos are increasingly popular (driven by Bazel, Nx, Turborepo adoption), AI agents are dramatically increasing commit velocity, and Microsoft's VFS for Git proved the approach works but isn't broadly available.
MarketMid-to-large tech companies with 100+ engineers; GitHub/GitLab enterprise tiers ($20+/user/mo) are the baseline; TAM $3-5B. Microsoft built a custom solution (Scalar) but it's not a product for others.
MoatDeep git protocol expertise creates a technical moat; once adopted as infrastructure, switching costs are extremely high; data moat from understanding repo access patterns enables smart prefetching.
