I've used Gitlab CI before and I do like it, but TravisCI allowed for some granular control that Gitlab CI does not have (or that I am doing wrong) - for example, ability to run specific tests in case of pull/merge requests (Trasi

I love Gitlab but sadly, quite a lot of services that offer free accounts for open source projects (TravisCI comes to mind), generally don't integrate with Gitlab It's one of the few reasons why I am still using Github :( .

Just to be clear...best practices with designing status pages: 1. ensure it does not depend on your infra (if your api server goes down - it should not take down your status api with it) 2. make sure your service reports to your status page
