Don't know exactly why you decided against moving to bare metal, but IMO you definitely should. We've got tremendous improvements moving to metal. I also can't recommend OVH enough. Best price on market plus great hardware and uptime. Technical support isn't the best but you shouldn't need it anyway.
- lbotos 10y agoI also work at GitLab on a non-infra team. Here is Sid's explanation: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/727#note_20044060 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/727#note... I, personally, was apprehensive of going to bare metal for most of the reasons that Sid lists in the above message, and I think that making the app just _better_ is where we should focus before we try and run to pure hardware to solve the problem.
- napsterbr 10y agoThanks for the link. I understand the rationale, it's definitely not a simple decision, but if these improvements can be made at the application layer then by all means go for it.
- sytse 10y agoYes, we're going for the application layer improvements. For our work there please see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly
