Anthropic builds in-house version control after agent-driven merge volume surges

AISummary

Anthropic's engineering blog says daily merged code changes rose from about 2,500 in May to more than 30,000 in September, outpacing infrastructure built for human-scale work.

A seven-person team reportedly built a new version control system called Scion and migrated its monorepo from Git in five months. The author, a Chinese X user, says the post ends by suggesting other infrastructure may face similar strain.

Anthropic 创建了自己的 Git!他们的代码合并量从每天 2,500 次涨到 30,000 多次,因为 Claude 写代码实在太快了👀 Git 是为离线、分布式的人类协作设计的,现在写代码的几乎全是永远在线的 Agent。于是一个七人小团队花了五个月,打造了一套版本控制系统 Scion,把整个 monorepo 迁了过去,基础设施只剩原来 Git 镜像的两百分之一 ... 代码的生产方式变了,承载它的管道也得重写,接下来被 Agent 冲垮再重建的,恐怕不止版本控制 🤔

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
