+# Create: Source Code Backend
+
+The Create:Source Code BE team focuses on the GitLab suite of Source Code Management
+(SCM) tools. It is responsible for all backend aspects of the product categories
+that fall under the [Source Code group](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#source-code-group)
+of the [Create stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#create-stage)
+of the [DevOps lifecycle](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#devops-stages).
+
+We interface with the Gitaly and Code Review teams, and work closely with the
+[Create:Source Code Frontend team](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/dev/create-source-code-fe). The features
+we work with are listed on the
+[Features by Group Page](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/features/#createsource-code-group).
+
+The team works across three codebases: Workhorse, GitLab Shell and GitLab Rails.
+
+## Workhorse
+
+GitLab Workhorse is a smart reverse proxy for GitLab. It handles "large" HTTP
+requests such as file downloads, file uploads, `git push`, `git pull` and `git` archive downloads.
+
+Workhorse itself is not a feature, but there are several features in GitLab
+that would not work efficiently without Workhorse.
+
+Workhorse documentation is available in the [Workhorse repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/tree/master/workhorse).
+
+## GitLab Shell
+
+GitLab Shell handles Git SSH sessions for GitLab and modifies the list of authorized keys.
+For more information, [refer to the README](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-shell/-/blob/main/README.md).
+for GitLab Shell.
+
+## GitLab Rails
+
