Using Geo for Cells 1.0

Background

We are evaluating DR solutions for Cells in the DR for Cells blueprint gitlab-org/gitlab!146189 (merged)

Part of that evaluation will be taking a look at Geo as a way for us to add disaster resilience to the Cells offering. This would give us a multi-region footprint for Cells and a great starting point for data recovery if it is required.

This is mostly a discovery task that when complete will allow us to make a Geo on Cells decision for Cells 1.0 and future releases.

  • A detailed cloud spend estimate for adding a Geo deployment to every Cell
  • Summarize the data replication strategy for Geo Cells on GCP (database, redis, object storage)
  • Understand how Geo on Cells is impacted by the Global and Routing service
