GitHub's uptime is way better than GitLab. I am not really sure gitlab.com even reaches 99% availability (not to mention 99.9%). GitLab may well be focused on providing full-stack dev-services (VCS, build-server, CI and stuff), but in the end they are a hosting company - and for hosting, uptime is one of the most important metrics. EDIT: 99% was exaggerating, but I got so many 50Xs the last days that it was from time to time unusable.

I agree that GitHub's uptime is better, but I doubt that Gitlab aren't at 99% availability - that'd mean over 14.4 minutes of downtime each day.

  We have some public Pingdom stats at http://stats.gitlab.com/4932705/history http://stats.gitlab.com/4932705/history, looks like this was the first time we dipped below 99.9% this year (partial outages excluded). But yeah, our response times have been steadily increasing and could definitely be a lot better ;-)

I assume they are as well, but I can only speak for myself.

  Ok, I admit that 99% was exaggerating, but you sure should make availability of gitlab.com your main focus - and you promise that for years to the users (linking at issues etc.). Btw.: Your links are http, and the https version has `SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN` - you should check with pingdom.com maybe?
