But sure enough, we definitely weren't the first to go down this path. Facebook was using (or developing the tech for) server-side rebasing in 2015.[1] Gitlab provides native server-side rebase functionality, likely inspired by various parties already having developed tools to do the same.
These aren't new ideas. But handling them at the scale where you land hundreds or even thousands of commits a day to a repo and require the ability to deploy at will, that's where engineering comes into play.
