Reason Machines released Aspen, an open-source Git server aimed at repos that hundreds of agents push to at once, MarkTechPost reports. It independently implements the design OpenAI described for Pando.
- One Rust binary. Branches live in PostgreSQL (or SQLite); packs live in object storage.
- Pushes to different branches don’t wait on each other. Self-reported: 567 pushes/sec sustained for five minutes on one 8-core host.
- Landing on main is about 4/sec. It’s pre-alpha: no releases, no web UI, and the 24-hour durability gate isn’t met yet.
My take
Classic Git servers choke when every agent pushes every few minutes. Aspen looks promising, but pre-alpha means keep it off anything you care about.
Review before you install: read the release notes yourself, back up your config, and try new versions somewhere you can afford to break first.
God Bless, and Use the Source!
