It is extremely slow. We tried it on a 1go droplet and it felt slow with 2 users but can't beat that £0 price.

Just so you know, we recommend a minimum of 2GB https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/requirements.md#memory https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/inst...

Have you tried running GitHub EE on something of the same spec? It's terrible to near impossible and it doesn't include nearly as many of the features as Gitlab. We have been running Gitlab for 100~ employees for well over a year on a single, medium/low specced VM and its lightning quick, so much so that when Devs/Ops have to use GitHub you can hear the sighs around the office!

  Glad to hear GitLab is fast for you! Will be even faster with 8.5 :)

    Seriously Sytse, Gitlab has not only continued to improve, it's done so at rockets pace while (and here's the hard part) at the same pace also improved quality and test coverage. Do you remember a year or so ago when I was whinging about some regressions after several upgrades? Well I'll tell you what - there hasn't been any that have impacted us in such a long time upgrades - even to a major version - do not worry me one bit and our Devs are always excited to see what's new. I'm not sure if you remember but we're a non-profit, charitable organisation and GitLab has really helped us immensely over the past year. A damn fine product from a damn fine team, supported by a damn fine community.

  > medium/low specced VM Can you be more specific? Does that mean 1core+512MB? Is 8core+12GB considered medium to you? Is that 100 Programmers or 50 Programmers plus 50 issue commented? Totally agree on GHEE. I have 4 Programmers+4commenters running on a $200/month recommended hosting partner and it's performance is not up to my expectations (especially when I'm the only one on...)
