Making MySQL Better at GitHub

Re:Making MySQL Better at GitHub by tsuraan on Tuesday September 02, 2014 @05:08PM (#8260168)

Is there a document on how GitHub uses MySQL? Does it actually store git objects (either as binaries or in a logical equivalent with foreign keys, etc), or is the database just used for higher-level things, like users, organizations, etc?

We use MySQL with ActiveRecord primarily (with a few exceptions). So that's all Users, Repositories, Issues, etc.

Git data gets stored with Git on separate file servers.
