GitLab Act 2
about.gitlab.com
A letter to our customers and our investors.

Lots of layoffs (“re-evaluating our operational footprint”) and switching to “agentic” processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

      I like codeberg and have no plans on migrating away from it, but their codeberg Pages product is…weak to say the least. There’s very frequent downtime. I had multiple users reach out to me letting me know my site was down… embarrassing. I set up kuma uptime checks on it, and now I see when the outages happen.

      Forget “four 9’s” or anything close to that…my 30 day uptime is a measley 91%…

        They communicate that openly tho:

        Regular maintenance window: We’re meeting every Tuesday starting 18.00 Berlin time (currently 17.00 UTC), lasting up to 8 hours. While we announce large scheduled downtimes in advance, there might be minor interruptions due to maintenance work happening during the meeting. Please be patient in this case.

        https://status.codeberg.org/status/codeberg

        Not sure if that’s also for the Pages feature, but in general having a weekly 8hr maintenance window is not optimal.

        Github seems to be down a lot, too, although perhaps not their pages part. Perhaps you could try to have just the pages in some other place?

        Thats rough. Check out https://grebedoc.dev/ I believe codeberg itself also wants to migrate to that as well, I cant tell you how reliable it is though (I am using hetzner managed for 1.90€/m) is but I dig its simplicity.
