Praefect is an optional reverse-proxy for [Gitaly](../index.md) to manage a
cluster of Gitaly nodes for high availability through replication.
If a Gitaly node becomes unavailable, it will be possible to fail over to a
warm Gitaly replica.
The first minimal version will support:
- Eventual consistency of the secondary replicas.
- Manual fail over from the primary to the secondary.
Follow the [HA Gitaly epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/1489)
for updates and roadmap.
