About the team
GitLab Geo is an enterprise product feature, built to distribute GitLab self-hosted deployments to different geographic locations.

Data can be accessed from any of the locations whilst intelligent proxying techniques guarantee users have access to the most recent data.
Geo’s architecture addresses a number of customer problems that includes acceleration of proximity based data access and disaster recovery.
