Unfortunately I don't believe we'll be able to comment on the accuracy of this since the quotes from companies are private information, but I do love math like this :D (Community Advocate at GitLab)

Unfortunately I don't have deep knowledge of our infrastructure, so I can't answer all of these questions myself. That said, a decent chunk of this info can be found in the discussions on our Infrastructure issue tracker[1]. The l

I'd recommend reading some of the closed issues in that project as well, lots of interesting postmortems on downtime, increased load, etc. :) https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues?scope=al...

I just want to note that the blog post you linked to was never actually published since we decided against pointing fingers when – by and large – the problems weren't their fault and their engineers were quite helpful. See the comment

Was your experience RE: Ceph/Gluster from Stack Overflow? I'd definitely be interested in hearing more about the specifics of that.

I disagree, I think we should all have the responsibility to make sure our sites and apps are accessible.

Out of curiosity, what kind of developer are you? (e.g. languages you know, frameworks, platforms, etc.)

One person who has spent a lot of time looking at and thinking about this problem is Nadia Eghbal. She has a repository called "Lemonade Stand"[1], which is a resource that lists a number of ways to fund open source development, a

I was one of the people who first contributed to GitLab voluntarily, its been quite awesome :) Another great example of a company like this is Sentry[1], which is fully open source, although I'm not sure if they've hired anyone fr

It's really awesome to have an open source option for error tracking, we use it at GitLab and its been great. Kudos to the Sentry team, and thanks for entertaining my conversations on twitter every once-in-a-while :)

They hired the guy developing Package Control and I believe they're working on integrating it into Sublime, just a matter of time.

I really, really wish it was open source. I understand why it isn't, but with its main competitors being Atom and VSCode, it's hard to warrant using a closed source text editor even if it's so much faster and I'm used to

Wikis do exist, and you can always have a `docs` directory and then use GitLab CI to package the docs up and/or deploy that directory as a static site. We have this issue which I'm fairly fond of, though I'm not sure we'

If you could chime in on one of those threads with your use-case and a mention of the VLC project it may help get the ball rolling a bit faster :) Even better if you have examples of useful fields you've used!

(GitLab Core Team Member) Our dribbble is relatively sparse at the moment, but we do have it: https://dribbble.com/gitlab We have quite a good UI/UX team in my opinion, but there's a lot of surface area to cover.

You'll be very happy to hear about Todos[1] then! You can add a todo or mark it as done from the sidebar on any issue or merge request. It'll stay in your Todo list until you mark it as done or comment on the issue/MR. We&#x2

Free tier as in self-hosted GitLab CE or GitLab.com? Self-hosted might be slow if you don't have enough RAM on the system you're running it with, but as long as you have more than 2GB it definitely shouldn't take more than 1

GitHub had tabs at the top, redesigned to use a sidebar, then went back to tabs at the top, I believe.

I get 5.5s now when I re-run it (probably due to caching). We've been working incredibly hard to make it faster, we have to use it everyday, so we know exactly how annoying the lack of speed can be. For example, take a look at the drop

My understanding (as a frontend engineer, so I'm not as intimately familiar with the problems as some others are) is that the biggest bottleneck at this point is with the file system. We're working on switching to CephFS which loo

We put a lot of thought in our most recent release to improve the UI/UX, so some of your problems with that may have been resolved since you last used GitLab. As for performance, we've started treating speed as a priority, and we&
