OpenAI Built Pando Git Backend, Cuts Push Latency 80%
The gist
Pando lets OpenAI scale Git capacity alongside growing AI agent usage without requiring engineers to change their workflows. The system now serves nearly a petabyte of Git data daily, indicating the volume of development activity involved.

The full picture
OpenAI built Pando, a Git-compatible backend for its monorepo, cutting push latency by approximately 80% and serving nearly a petabyte of Git data per day. The system was designed to handle increased load from both engineers and AI agents without changing existing Git workflows. OpenAI said the motivation was the scale of development that its Codex AI coding tool makes possible, which exceeded what standard Git can support.
How it developed
OpenAI published blog post describing Pando, a Git-compatible backend for monorepo scale
