Yes. I lobbied several companies to terminate their enterpise contracts with github because of their racist attitudes. All switched within 2 weeks. Some to VS Team Services, some to Gitlab. My work projects went to MSFT, but I think I will transfer my side projects to gitlab from bitbucket, since they have pages now.

Racist attitudes? Interesting - not sure what you're talking about. Could you link a source?

This is awesome. One question I have in comparison to GitHub Pages is if a global CDN is used and if there is effective DDOS protection built in. GitHub has to deal with regular DDOS attacks, and I imagine GitLab will have a few too. GitHub does a pretty good job with it, but before I move to GitLab Pages I'd like to understand that better but didn't see that info anywhere.

GitLab's hosted on Azure. I don't think Azure will fall over to a DDOS, you'll just wake up to a hefty bandwidth bill.

Great start. The obvious missing feature is Let's Encrypt support. I would like to see hosting companies like GitLab implement HTTPS for 100% of their served pages, and Let's Encrypt is a key enabling technology to do so.

> racist attitudes

Do you mind explaining this a little bit?

I really like GitLab, we use it and they follow the business model I wish GitHub had. But as they become bigger and bigger I have to wonder how much longer until they start antagonizing GitHub with these feature clones, and who should have my support when that day comes.

I'd say that it's a pretty easy choice. Pick the open source one.

Gitlab is still super slow even compared to young projects like gogs. I know many ppl who shied away for gitlab due to its slowness.

If I was them, I would stop all copycat 'me too' features like ci/pages ect and put the resources to making it faster. This is a sign that their features are pritorized by business ppl who want to put features on their slides .

Right now, GitLab Pages is hosted on the same servers as GitLab.com, so it gets the same attention from our engineers in terms of reliability and uptime.

We're not using a global CDN, but this is something we will explore.
