Regarding gitlab performance: I moved from using bitbucket, first own servers and later SaaS to gitlab.com SaaS in early 2018. I cannot say anything else than gitlab performance and UI being much better. I was permanently complaining about bitbucket, but very happy with gitlab most of the time. They had rather frequent partial outages, but resolution was always quick. Maybe starting 1 year ago I noticed gitlab.com reponse times going down. It's not that things hang or are super slow, but they seem to consistently take 2 seconds more than what they used to. (The number is a complete guess, I have no measurements either before or after.) It's still usable, but no longer the pleasant experience it used to be.

And following up to myself: Being able to work from where I happen to live and I have thought about whether I would like to work for them. That it's a good product would certainly be a motivation. However, frequent incidents being resolved fast must be incredibly stressful for the staff. I prefer to stay where we make heavy releases only a few times a year for regulatory reasons. (Even though stress levels can raise until the last MR for the release has been merged.)
