Founder here:

Not part of the report was that getting intro to people on Github significantly helped accelerate things.

Any questions about Lovable infra for those curious generally – happy to answer.

(also, we're hiring senior platform engineers in Europe to build the first European AI outlier success story:)

I read you migrated to an S3-based git backend — would love to hear more about that story and how you managed the migration. Did you migrate all repos at once or on demand?

Also chapeau for the quick turnaround, I logged into lovable and saw the incident and you didn't let GitHub slow you down :-)

regardless of scale there will most likely be code paths where performance is not prioritized, and unexpected use-cases can put the stability at risk. In this case that was creating new repos. I believe if we only made a crazy amount of commits there would have been no issue.
