Anthropic says its merge volume rose from about 2,500 code changes per day in May to more than 30,000 per day in September, which outpaced developer infrastructure built for human-scale work. The company says it built a new version control system and fully migrated its monorepo from git in five months.
The post explains why Anthropic's merge volume outgrew its developer tooling and how the team replaced git for its monorepo, which is useful context for teams facing similar scaling limits.
New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.
In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/redesigning-source-control
