I got burned so many times by GitLab I can't in good conscience use them anymore. I always try to use an OSS product when I can, but I literally lost a client a few years back because we couldn't do a deploy because GL was down. For now I use GH for critical projects and a self hosted Gitea instance when it's not super critical.

One of the benefits of gitlab is you can host it yourself. Github has also had outages.

To be fair, Github actions has a spotty record as well. https://www.githubstatus.com/history https://www.githubstatus.com/history

On the flip side, we switched to our own hosted-on-k8s GitLab summer 2019 and it's been rock solid since. I patch it monthly (via Helm) and it's painless. About 100 users and it handles all of our CI, which runs on a separate GKE node pool.
