Scaling Git at OpenAI
OpenAI built Pando, a Git-compatible backend for development at the scale enabled by Codex. Builders using agents at high volume may need to revisit repository infrastructure.
OpenAI built **Pando**, a Git-compatible backend intended to support the development scale that Codex makes possible.
Builders running coding agents should watch for repository infrastructure becoming a bottleneck as agent-driven development grows. The example points to backend capacity as part of the agent setup.
OpenAI built **Pando**, a Git-compatible backend intended to support the development scale that Codex makes possible. Builders running coding agents should watch for repository infrastructure becoming a bottleneck as agent-driven development grows. The example points to backend capacity as part of the agent setup. The material gives no technical design, scale figures, or performance results, so it does not show when a team would need a similar system.
Pando makes repository capacity an explicit infrastructure concern as Codex-supported development scales, but the source gives no design or measurements to indicate when a similar backend is warranted. The candidates offer a concrete Git performance constraint that helps frame the problem, not evidence that Pando uses the same architecture.
