Really happy for GitLab and wish you guys all the best (and luck).

We've been using Gitlab for all our company's development, however, one major issue that is pushing us to switch over to GitHub is the fact that GitLab goes down almost every other day (or sometimes every day) due to deployments. Although during this often the site remains available, when CI is not executed or triggers are not performed, it is still extremely disruptive. I really hope that you prioritise having disruption-free deployments.

Thanks for your comment. Self hosted GitLab has been very reliable but GitLab.com's availability has been far below par.

It is our nr. 1 focus to improve this. Deployments should not cause disruptions. Over the last few months we solved the speed of GitLab.com. Availability is next.

Firstly, I'm really happy to see Gitlab growing and desperately want to see it succeed. We need an open-source alternative, and the organisational transparency within the company is also wonderful. However...

I'm currently browsing a repo tree and each page is taking 5+ seconds to load (I am literally browsing HN while waiting for pages to open). This is a common experience. Please please don't get complacent. Not yet.
