Should be a better network and help with scaling.

  And significantly cheaper.

  We have found the network to be nothing short of amazing so far!

So Gitlab is switching from being hosted by a business focused company to an ad focused company? Which basically means, that all the people who hated the buyin from Microsoft are becoming part of the Google ad data warehouse? That's, uhm, reassuring to know...

  If you've seen Windows 10 (ads and telemetry) it's probably only fair to say that MS is also highly interested in end-user data and ads, just like Google.

    Yet, their business model doesn't rely on my data and ad-targeting me. Besides, from my experience, every software vendor is of course interested in telemetry. Otherwise, I don't really know which features my customers are using, and on which I should focus more. Maybe I'm biased here.

  > Which basically means, that all the people who hated the buyin from Microsoft are becoming part of the Google ad data warehouse? Really? If you think that running your customer-facing web app on a certain cloud provider means that provider can inject content, why wasn't Amazon trying to sell me stuff related to the projects I was interested in that were hosted in Gitlab when Gitlab ran on AWS? And if Google does to anything, Gitlab could just relaunch their containers on AWS (with EKS, or Fargate, or run K8s on bare metal hosts that AWS doesn't have any execution access on, e.g. i3.metal.).

Ah man, I hope that doesn't mean Gitlab gets blocked in China >.<
