Gitlab 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 :)
