As a potential Gitlab customer (I would be running an instance in the cloud if I moved off of their hosted offering), this removes the main concern I had with migrating to their platform. Fundamentally the performance problems they had could be solved by either software or hardware, and I have more faith in the team's ability to learn the distributed computing / caching techniques required than to learn how to run their own metal.
