Two primitives make that possible: Organizations , the tenant boundary that makes a customer's data a single addressable, portable unit, and Cells , independent GitLab instances that host those Organizations and can be provisioned on demand across clouds and regions. The target is a 100x increase in headroom for GitLab.com, delivered without customers ever seeing a cell. Same domain, same URLs, same product — a substrate underneath that scales by adding capacity rather than by negotiating with a single database. The boundary we are building
