How we decreased GitLab repo backup times from 48 hours to 41 minutes


Learn how GitLab tracked a performance bottleneck to a 15-year-old Git function and fixed it, leading to enhanced efficiency that supports more robust backup strategies and can reduce risk.

Enhanced business continuity With backup times reduced from days to minutes, organizations significantly minimize their recovery point objectives (RPO). Shorter backup windows mean reduced compute costs, especially in cloud environments, where extended processing time translates directly to higher bills. While the improvement of 48 hours to 41 minutes for backup creation time represents a significant milestone, we continue to identify and address performance bottlenecks throughout our stack.
