With us, no virtual machine, no cloud provider, no loss of performance. Each one of our gitlab runners runs on our baremetal servers. We design, install and operate baremetal servers on our own facilities, in our own datacenters.
Our network is interconnected with the biggest ISP and cloud providers in 100Gbps to give you quickly the data you need.
We used multiple layers of network caching technologies (eg. DNS and docker registry cache servers) to reduce the network latency. Our infrastructure use the most performant caching softwares like NGINX and Squid.
Nowadays, more and more software applications use multithreading; this is why each own our servers run 2 x i7 CPU with 16 cores.
To help you running your CI fast we threw out the good old hard disk to replace it with last generation SSD.
