"Gitlab dominates" 5% of the hosted market vs 95% of the SaaS market. And their reported popularity is based on data from a single CI company. This is further skewed since it's one of a few CI tools that actually supports Gitlab as an OAuth provider. There's no way this claim would stand up to any scrutiny or more data-gathering. It's just marketing fluff. EDIT: More on what upset me about this claim. First, we have no idea of what the composition of the 10,000 applications Bitrise surveyed are like. There could be a single company that uses Gitlab to test thousands of applications that completely invalidate this result. Second, this insults my (and every other competent readers') intelligence. This is badly done marketing. And their audience is developers. So they know they're misleading us but I guess they don't care.

Stats don't make much sense. Self hosted bitbucket is huge. I've worked for Atlassian companies lately but none of their crap calls out to the Internet and tells the mothership what they're up to. Well I guess they do. But not in a way that other people can tell. Totally not an Atlassian shill (often I wish we had gitlab) but their stuff works self hosted real well. There's no way a third party could know what the numbers are, because when you use software which doesn't sell you out, well, you're not sold out.
