See Note-db, which is how Gerrit stores almost all data in git since release 2.15. Only the reviewed flag is stored in a database, for performance reasons. While Gerrit doesn't have an issue system, it does have user accounts and code review records, all of which are stored in Git. While some information has external indices for performance, the primary data is still in git. Gerrit is used in a number of high-profile projects, including OpenStack, Eclipse, and Android. Not all Gerrit instances have completely migrated from the older database, but support for the external database will be removed in the 3.0 release.
