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.

Better to ask about their minimum availability guarantee. Knowing that the servers can handle a DDOS attack is of little value if the service goes down for maintenance every day (just to give an example).

The custom runners and the ability to view the results of a build are killer features. I really hate GitHub's cryptic "something went wrong" emails.

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?

Their new 'social impact team' isn't a fan of white people

Do you have a link to anything I could read up on regards to the "racist attitudes" you mention? Genuinly interested. I have heard some negative things about their environment, but nothing regards to racism.

EDIT : I see the links below now.

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 .

What is the latest version you have tried?

We've made a lot of changes to GitLab in the last number of releases that make GitLab a whole lot faster [0], but we recognize that the performance of GitLab.com can still improve quite a bit.

For low-memory machines, we do recommend people to use Gogs.
