    I'm the Gitaly Lead at GitLab. Gitaly is a GitLab project to move all the git operations out of the GitLab Ruby monolith into a Git RPC service. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gital…

    I'm totally open to that. I'm not going to be changing anything around the suggestions any time soon, but who should I get in touch with when I do?

    We update on a batch[1] fairly infrequently (daily iirc). We don't need exact room membership since the results are aggregated. > If the application crashes everyone would be kicke…

    We haven't done much benchmarking at that end of the scale, but I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to run it on a single server.

    The big problem with the way we use neo4j is around huge rooms with ~100K users. The number of possible rooms that neo4j has to traverse (even a shallow traversal) for a user in a …

    Gitter co-founder here: we use neo4j for suggesting rooms. So, if you're in room A and room B, and most people in those two rooms are also in room C, then we suggest that you join …

    From the project page, choose Repository | Charts. Beware though, it's pretty slow right now. It might be quicker to just look at a screenshot of it instead http://imgur.com/a/qBGV…

    Fair enough: this is exactly what we've moved to on Gitter on Gitter since open-sourcing the product.

    (Gitter Co-founder here) Unfortunately our neo4j setup as it stands really doesn't scale. At an application-level we're built error-handling to gracefully handle the frequent outag…

    We use Ansible / packer & terraform. Open sourcing this repo will be fairly complicated but it may make more sense for us to publish a k8s helm chart or more complete, production-r…

    We have a docker-compose.yml for development environments and I'm currently in the process of simplifying this[1] so that Docker for Mac/Windows will be able to spin up an environm…

    Andrew, co-founder of Gitter here. Removing secrets was a lot of work - more than I expected - while we open-sourced the product. I agree with your sentiment though. Handling secre…

    Hi, co-founder of Gitter here. Gitter is not intended to be a replacement for Mattermost, Slack or other team collaboration tools. We see Gitter as a community instead. As such, we…

    Additionally, would love to hear your feedback on what you think we could change in Gitter to make privacy easier and less frictionless.

    Sandeep, it's interesting that you view it that way, but it was never our intention to deliberately make privacy hard. When creating a new room, you can choose to make it public, p…
