GitLab CEO here, I might be missing the joke here, GitLab is a decentralized solution you run on your own servers. Maybe you are confused with GitLab.com?

- shankerhrm 12y agoYes, Gitlab.com is not having hosting services.
- sytse 12y agoUhhmm, GitLab.com has hosting services https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/ https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/ Most people use GitLab to refer to the downloadable software you run locally https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/ https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/
- richardwhiuk 12y agocorrection: GitLab is a centralized solution you run on your own servers - you end up with a replicated central set of hosts.
- jbbarth 12y agoIs it? Having it hosted on my servers doesn't make it decentralized: it's just centralized in a place I own. If the server(s) go down, same problem as Github (except I may be able to take action). Right?
- sytse 12y agoCompared to multi-tenancy it seems more decentralized to me since it dispersed functions from a central point. It is not redundant, if that is what you mean. In general having the server together with the rest of your infrastructure ensures it is available when the rest of your infrastructure is available and reduces network/ddos problems.
