gitlab.com is dog slow and my code is too important to risk self hosting.

  Deploy on Heroku

    Installing it on Heroku is not an option because their containers do not allow the disk access GitLab needs to store and manage the git repo's. source: https://www.quora.com/How-much-of-a-threat-is-GitLab-to-GitHub-Enterprise https://www.quora.com/How-much-of-a-threat-is-GitLab-to-GitH...

    So happy to see you acknowledge the performance issues. You'd do everyone a great favor when you make it happen!

  So host on multiple sites?

  Wait, are you telling me that every git repository isn't a full copy of the codebase that you could recover from? Really? I find that hard to believe, but it makes me glad I use Mercurial if that's the case.

    Git repositories do have a full copy of the codebase (unless using some large-file management, same issue with largefiles extension for hg). But gitlab/github are more than just git repositories -- issue tracking, discussions, wiki, etc. One version control which includes most of this as part of the repository is fossil, http://fossil-scm.org http://fossil-scm.org
