I haven't experienced any downtime with their public service - which I think is great for hosting private repos (as others have mentioned). I actually prefer it to bitbucket.
In other professional experiences, hosting our own instances of Gitlab was a great solution. Setup/updates were easy and we had the piece of mind knowing that we were in control of the maintaining uptime. I was very impressed by how simple it was to their implement CI service as well.

- YorickPeterse 9y agoGitLab.com is not deployed using any automated CI software, instead it's deployed using https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/takeoff https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/takeoff. The problem here was an incorrect version set in Chef, resulting in it deploying an old version to the cluster.
- n_coats 9y agoAll the more reason to host your own instance! However, I understand if others prefer not to go this route and thus use an alternative version control solution.
