OpenAI rebuilds its Git backend for concurrent agent work

OpenAI described Pando, the backend now serving its monorepo. The design lets unrelated branches receive updates concurrently and reuses packs of Git objects to serve reads.

OpenAI reports that the migration kept the existing Git client workflow. Its latency figures come from its own production system.

When coding agents multiply parallel jobs, measure Git and CI separately. A faster push will only shorten delivery if the repository is the bottleneck. Check queue time, repeated fetches and test capacity before changing infrastructure.
