I'm surprised they didn't go with a self-hosted GitLab instance. I've always found GL to be better at handling large projects (projects, groups, sub-groups etc.

I'm surprised they didn't go with a self-hosted GitLab instance. I've always found GL to be better at handling large projects (projects, groups, sub-groups etc.), not to mention they could easily modify their instance to better integrate with the rest of their services.

They don’t seem to plan to use any of the GitHub features. They only use it as a “cloud git hosting”. My guess is if there was as reliable git-web hosting they might as well go with it. By only using GH for repo hosting they’re not locking in themselves and also outsource the tedious parts (infra, backups, etc.).
