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%…

      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?

      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.

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