How about costs compared to Bitbucket? I appreciate what you guys are doing but I think Github is cashing in on their brand and for a while they had the best UX (they still might! but I no longer care anymore as all the competitors are "good enough" for me) which lets them set a high premium people will pay. However, I think it's unfair to leave out Bitbucket, they have come a long way.
The first example of 8 developers and 20 repos is $10/month
or 100 developers and 300 repos examples is $100/month
What is the cost and/or time involved in maintaining DigitalOcean (or whatever VPS)? Security updates, upgrades, redundancy/availability, backups, or when something goes wrong the time involved in debugging/fixing (github/bitbucket have had their problems, is gitlab 100% available w/o hiccups)?
- icebraining 10y agoVery little time, in my experience. unattended-upgrades takes care of most security updates, a gitlab update is just "aptitude update && aptitude install gitlab-ce", and it automatically handles offsite backups.
- tiimo 10y agoIf availability, security, backups etc. are highly critical for you and you don't want to host yourself, you could also have a look at our GitLab hosting service called GitHost (https://githost.io https://githost.io). It gives you your own private and secure GitLab instance on DigitalOcean which is completely maintained by us. GitHost for teams of up to 100 is $80/month.
