Case Study: Mercado Libre backs up 13,000+ repositories with Rewind Backups for GitHub

Mercado Libre backs up 13,000+ repositories with REWIND

Mercado Libre, the largest online retailer in Latin America, faced a significant challenge in backing up their massive infrastructure of over 13,000 GitHub repositories. Their in-house solution, a custom AWS Lambda script, lacked visibility, failed to backup critical metadata like issues and pull requests, and provided no easy path for restoration. To meet SOC2 compliance and ensure redundancy for their critical codebases, they sought a robust solution and were recommended Rewind Backups for GitHub.

Rewind implemented its backup solution for Mercado Libre, successfully handling the immense scale of their repositories. The initial backup was completed in four days, with subsequent incremental backups taking only an hour. The result was a fully automated, reliable backup process that required no maintenance from Mercado Libre's engineering team, saving them weeks of engineering time and providing peace of mind that their code and metadata were securely protected.
