My opinion is that they optimize for huge deployments. Tiny companies are supposed to use cloud. And self-hosting is supposed to be used by big companies with thousands of people. I guess that's where their money is, anyway.
That said, they're doing good job of documenting things required for smaller installations.
- totetsu 4y agoSo true. I was in charge of setting up self hosted GitLab at tiny computer company. Was very proud of the cicd setup untill the boss asked for review apps to be launched for each commit. Gitlab had no solution for this but to use Kubernetes.
- mekster 4y agoBullshit, the inability to properly optimize doesn't mean it's optimized well for huge deployments. It will need much more resource on huge deployments and still quite some RAM on small deployments too. At this point, the code base is too big for them to fix the performance and they want to use their time on new features and bug fixes as that's what customers are asking more while customers may solve the performance problem by spending more money on the server. It's just that the initial technical decisions sucked and it's no longer possible to fix it at this point.
