Consolidate your GitLab stack with Gitaly on Kubernetes

GitLab Gitaly on Kubernetes is now generally available as a supported deployment option, eliminating hybrid infrastructure setups.

• •Gitaly uses cgroups to isolate Git processes and prevent the main Gitaly process from out-of-memory events affecting availability
• •Client retries are configurable to handle pod restarts without causing downtime during upgrades or node changes
• •Benchmarks demonstrate nearly identical success rates between VM and Kubernetes deployments (99-100% across git clone, pull, and push operations)
• •Kubernetes users can now consolidate their entire GitLab stack under a single container-orchestrated environment instead of maintaining separate VM fleets
• •Deployment is recommended through the GitLab Helm chart with detailed documentation for configuration and common pitfall avoidance
