I agree, but it does have faults. Performance is woeful, and managing an on-prem instance is (literally) a full time job.

- Hendrikto 5mo ago> managing an on-prem instance is (literally) a full time job. Hosting a Docker container is a full-time job? I have worked at several employers self-hosting their own instances without issues or a lot of effort. Many FOSS projects do, that definitely do not have a full-time guy for that. What are you talking about?
- user34283 5mo agoHundreds or 10k+ users? I imagine requirements and integrations may differ a lot. I have seen many incidents with a large instance.
- znpy 5mo agoyeah that is true. i did manage a gitlab instance for ~100 developers (between 2019 and 2022) and yeah performance was shit. not gonna lie, i blame ruby for that. if you accept the performance hit, it's great quality software though. however, a fairly large company with 100-120 users (developers, devops engineers, QAs etc) and ~600 gitlab runners ran happily on a 8 core / 64gb virtual machine (hosted on a local vmware cluster). so it is (was?) also fairly cheap.
- kelnos 5mo agogitlab.xfce.org is absolutely not a full-time job. It's run by one guy in his spare time, and that spare time doesn't even amount to a part-time job. I do agree about performance, though.
