<p>If those 1000 devs write to different branches then you only take a light lock on the branch, usually that is not the problem.<p>The problems start when there is a lot of changes on one branch and usually the first band-aid is to put a commit queue in place. The few very big companies that need even more than that probably aren't going to put their code on a new git hosting provider tomorrow.</p>

<p>> you should own that layer yourself inside of your infrastructure<p>Unless you have millions of users, you don't really need this. It would be nice to have but its not a pressing need. So why invest into developing something that you only need once you are at massive scale? At this point you might as well switch away from Postgres because you'll surely have the manpower to do it.<p>Even with a proxy like PgDog the Postgres sharding story isn't solved. Resharding with logical replication is unlikely to work with databases which are already TBs in size. I never got it to catch up, I had to sync data at the filesystem level which is terrible. Tools like pg_repack also fall apart at scale.<p>For those that get to a point where a sharding proxy is required, switching databases is a very appealing solution.<p>And for those that are almost there, application side sharding is more flexible than building a query routing proxy.</p>

<p>Info from veeery long ago because I have been out of this stuff for over a decade:<p>The release will have an .sfv file with a CRC32 checksum for each rar file.<p>The FTP server checks them after the upload completes. Back in the day glftpd with zipscript was a very popular tool to manage an FTP site. This Readme sums it up well: <a href="https://github.com/pzs-ng/pzs-ng" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pzs-ng/pzs-ng</a><p>The sfv can be tampered with but the propagation of releases to FTPs happens very fast, within minutes. It would take you longer to meaningfully alter it than it takes the racers to distribute the original files. And once the release is completely uploaded you can't modify the files anymore.<p>If the release is bad, for example if it doesn't work at all or if it contains a virus, then it simply gets nuked. This propagates within minutes.</p>
