What comes after git

East River Source Control is an innovative company that has been working on the next generation of version control systems. While there are numerous Git servers available, ERSC is focused on providing a bridge to the future of source control. The company believes that Git, while popular and effective, was designed with 2005 in mind and may not meet the needs of modern organizations dealing with large-scale, monolithic codebases.

ERSC's solution is to maintain a custom storage engine that doesn't rely on Git repositories. This approach allows them to offer horizontally scalable systems that can handle the demands of large organizations, without the limitations of Git. Importantly, this custom storage engine doesn't affect the Git protocol used by git clients, making it easy for developers to continue working with familiar tools while benefiting from ERSC's advanced storage solution.

By adopting ERSC, organizations can take advantage of a horizontally scalable system that meets the needs of modern development environments, all while maintaining the simplicity and familiarity of the Git protocol. The company is also exploring the potential of Jujutsu, another version control system that can speak multiple protocols, allowing for incremental adoption and flexibility in meeting future development needs.
