## Features accelerated by secondary Geo sites
Most HTTP traffic sent to a secondary Geo site can be proxied to the primary Geo site. With this architecture,
secondary Geo sites are able to support write requests. Certain requests are handled locally by secondary
sites for improved latency and bandwidth nearby.
secondary Geo sites are able to support write requests. Certain **read** requests are handled locally by secondary
sites for improved latency and bandwidth nearby. All write requests are proxied to the primary site.
The following table details the components currently tested through the Geo secondary site Workhorse proxy.
It does not cover all data types, more will be added in the future as they are tested.

1. Git reads are served from the local secondary while pushes get proxied to the primary.
Selective sync or cases where repositories don't exist locally on the Geo secondary throw a "not found" error.
