## Summary

Reason Machines has released Aspen, an Apache 2.0 Git server that scales writes per branch rather than per repository. The company self-reports 567 pushes per second sustained for five minutes on one 8-core server, with a p99 push latency of 314 ms. The project is pre-alpha, with no releases or web UI yet.

## Why it matters

The article compares Aspen's per-branch write design with OpenAI's Pando and Cursor's system, helping engineers judge how agent-scale Git hosting differs.
