I 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.

Thanks 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.
