Huh. (Double huh...) As Alan is always quick to quip:: JavaScript ain't |
| 29 |
java, so that changes the entire game. Performance can be fixed with a |
| 30 |
gentoo cluster (yet to be proven). I also read that gitlab is working to |
| 31 |
make the "engine" faster..... |

That's what clusters are for. ymmv. Lots of folks are using mesos, |
| 37 |
for a variety of workloads. Others like Openstack, which is supported in |
| 38 |
gentoo portage. My work on Apache-Mesos is suspended until I finish |
| 39 |
up a rack install system I've been hacking on for a while. Apache-Mesos, |
| 40 |
that works, can be found in BGO. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Folks are building mesos cluster on Arm64v8 (Rpi-3) and soon those arm |
| 43 |
clusters are going to everywhere, particularly in small companies.... An 8 |
| 44 |
node cluster for less than $500 USD. (includes 32 cores, 8 arm gpus and 16 |
| 45 |
gig of ram. So I'm just waiting on an arm64v8 board that has 4 gig of ram each. |

For me, robust gentoo support for both Gogs and Gitlab is a good idea |
| 51 |
as these are excellent codes to put on a (gentoo) cluster.... |
