They definitely stated that gitlab.com was running on one single server (plus a spare): https://about.gitlab.com/2015/01/03/the-hardware-that-powers-100k-git-r

It looks like this is no longer the case:

I haven't been able to determine if they're still storing the git repositories on NFS:

but if that's the case, I would be extremely nervous about the integrity and stability of their platform. I've had too many bad experiences with NFS mounts failing and general instability that I don't want to deploy it anymore.
