I tried to use gitlab and was very excited with the self host option. But for a small business, it was too much hassle with setup, installation and the biggest issue: huge memory requirement. On a DigitalOcean droplet of 512MB, it was too slow. I switched to Bitbucket private repo. May be i was not doing something right.

> Also like most people that I've spoken to, we're not interested in gitlab-ci at all Consider me part of the crowd that is very interested. Travis is atrociously bad. Jenkins I've heard some good things about but I have mostly negative experiences with it. Alternatives are needed. And something like gitlab would sorely lack if it didn't have CI integration.
Why is Travis so bad? Ever tried CircleCI?
Until it gets basic features like that, Jenkins it is.

I think you're comparing apples to oranges. As far as I know BitBucket doesn't offer a self hosted solution but GitLab offers both. In fact they match BitBucket on pricing too, well at least for the free tier. You can host private repos directly on GitLab and BitBucket for free. The self hosted option may not be right for you especially if you're already using BitBucket private repos. Why did you not try GitLab's hos…

Here you go: > On a DigitalOcean droplet of 512MB I'm not sure it's realistic to expect great performance on a tiny droplet in a budget provider that over-provisions the heck out of these tiny instance sizes. Spend more than $5/month and you may get better results.
I have a dozen web apps installed on my personal 512MB droplet and they all work flawlessly.

We are definitely interested as well. - Open-source (check) - Self-hosted (check) - Integrates with GitLab (check) We do run Jenkins currently for some projects, but nobody is really happy with it. Sure, it gets the job done, but not the easiest software to work with.
The advantage being that you can use the same scripts during development.
So this is a little bit "in the weeds" but with the seed round closing back in July for $1.5 million why such a short turnaround for the series A? Is this normal? Considering it probably takes at least a month to close out a round does that mean GitLab went back out to fund raise only a month after their $1.5 million investment? Not trying to be critical or anything I'm just really curious.
Khosla invested in our seed round and we kept talking with them. They are a great investor so we are happy they wanted to do our A round. So we raised an A earlier than we expected beforehand. We still haven't touched the seed money, in our last month we were cash-flow positive. But I'm happy we did a priced round and can focus on growing knowing we have enough cash.
Switched a lot of personal projects over to GitLab, and been really happy. I'm very excited to see this. My only complaint is the lack of integrations from the rest of the world. It's pretty hard to find good services that hook into GitLab Note: I'm talking about hooking into gitlab.com not a self hosted instance
