How is GitLab like in terms of downtime? I looked at their status history page and I'm seeing a lot of incidents but it's hard to figure out what it actually means.
- s_dev 6y agoThats why the self hosted options are there -- and why GitLab has a competitive advantage in this sense. Cloud solutions are great -- however they have a golden rule, don't go down ever. This is seriously damaging to GitHubs reputation.

- ocdtrekkie 6y agoIIRC GitLab is super transparent about service outages, so it may not be that they're less reliable, but that they're more honest about it.
- neurostimulant 6y agoGitlab used to have more outages than github, but these days they're about the same or even better than github. Also, they're really transparent about handling outages. They post link directly to the issue page in their status page so you see all those gitlab employees frantically trying to restore the service. I was pretty mad when they were having the last outage because I can't finish my work, but after checking the issue page and seeing how hard they work, I felt bad and decided to cut them some slack :)
