Gitlab 12.3 Released
- Yuval_Halevi 7y agoGitlab is one of the finest companies out there. Following their progress and seeing them raising $268 million is pretty exciting
- prepend 7y agoIt’s terrifying to me. I mean I like GitLab and am happy they are rewarded. But I feel their valuation is not warranted given their revenue model so it will result in customer negative changes. At that valuation they could get bought. But since Microsoft bought GitHub I don’t see any other developer friendly companies willing to shell out $5-10B to buy goodwill. If Google buys it then they will kill the on prem version which is so important. Maybe Amazon, but I haven’t seen other build/dev infrastructure purchases. That leaves companies like IBM, or Facebook, or Oracle or people who have the money but would be so weird it would just languish and shrivel up. But the GL people are sharp, maybe they have some new cash hemorrhaging product in the works.
- nevi-me 7y agoThe container cleanup effort is welcomed, and I hope the milestone is completed in the near future. My private instance on LXD is using about 350GB, and given that I don't commit large files on Git, I suspect that about 330-340GB is all from the registry. All the latest tagged images probably make up 2GB worth of downloads.
