Gitlab is great when you self host it, but not so much using their service, you can take a look at https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus see how often they have breaking problems. Not to say this cannot happen, but they have considerably higher compared to others. But, for feature wise they are also great, but I do not see how this deep integration with Kubernetes will work out, making the core product more complicated and focused on single target. Not that you cannot write your own CI, but marketing it Auto DevOps when it does only K8s does not seem right to me.

Thanks. GitLab.com is indeed not as available as it should be. We're making progress but not as fast as we planned. Making GitLab.com more usable of a big part of our goals https://about.gitlab.com/okrs/ https://about.gitlab.com/okrs/ We think Kubernetes is the future operating system and we'll continue to add features specific to it. But we realize that only a few organizations are using it today. If you don't have Kubernetes you can still use parts of Auto DevOps, such as the Auto Code Quality.

Yeah, we've been committed to improving performance and uptime on GitLab.com for over a year now, we've heard this feedback a lot and take it to heart. It's definitely been steadily improving, and we're working on getting downtime-less deploys as soon as possible.

The most important feature to me is that gitlab allows to setup unlimited number of private repos.

  As is bitbucket.

    True. But AFAIK gitlab.com doesn't limit number of members for a project.
    - sytse 9y ago
      Correct, our free plans offers unlimited private projects and collaborators and 2,000 CI pipeline minutes per month on our shared runners https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/ https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/

        Just to let you know, I'm teaching intro programming classes, and using your service heavily because of this. Thanks !!!

        Awesome! We're working on a Cloud IDE to make your life your life even easier. Less setup for your students.
        favadi 9y ago
        Gitlab will include an IDE in the future? Or it will be a separate product?
        sytse 9y ago
        It will be included in all versions of GitLab. In fact it is already as alpha in the but you need to modify a cookie to activate it. It still needs a ton of work.
