# How do I send repository files to an s3 storage? is it even possible?

In the past we have got issues with instance space, we are hosting it in AWS EC2, last time this happened we increased the disk size of the instance but also configured Gitlab to send pipeline artifacts and cache to an S3 bucket.
Is it possible to do the same for all repository contents? Is there any performance impact that we need to consider?

Hi - thanks so much for your question!  In your case you may not want to do this for repository contents outside of LFS as that may perform badly. You might want to consider a separate instance that only runs Gitaly for repository storage https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/gitaly/#run-gitaly-on-its-own-server
