Bravo to the Gitlab team on building such a great product. I used to really dislike it, now I'm a big fan!

So far, everything is great, but we would love to have: - Custom Fields, in order to leave trac (such a pain, this service is); - A way to fork/MR across Gitlab/Github instances: we don't want our instance…
> A way to fork/MR across Gitlab/Github instances I think ActivityPub would be a good fit for federation across GitLab instances and would have a real chance to displace Github for open-source projects, if implemented right.
There's this proposal issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/44486

#73We use GitLab at a small company (around 15 employees), and love it because it's free in its core offering, self-hosted, and works really well. Conveniently, it comes with MatterMost included out of the box. Great for intra-office communication!
We are at the point where we wouldn't mind scaling up to the paid 'Starter' level of GitLab if it would mean being able to replace Jira as our issue tracker. One thing that worries me though, is how GitLab seems to focus all of the relevant developments in that area (epics, roadmaps, etc.) on their 'Supreme' level of paid plans, which is way beyond our means.
Is there a clear plan for the issue tracking side of things as far as the 'Core' and 'Starter' offerings are concerned?

I'll try and clear up any confusion you might have about GitLab. Feel free to ask more questions if I left something out. > I can't find anything describing the relationship between GitLab and Git anywhere on the home page. The relation between git and GitLab is that GitLab is a front-end for git. However, it's so much more than that. We strive to offer features that encompass the whole DevOps lifecycle - see https:/…
Hi, I'm rooting for Gitlab. Love your product, team, and particularly the way you all communicate with your customers. But the root problem may be that the name "Gitlab" does not convey "Full Devops Solution". "Gitlab" the name is memorable, easy-to-spell, but having "Git" as a prefix might make it just a hair too narrow for what the product wants to be. I am a sample size of one, so unless others have also been conf…
Isn't the main feature still Git-hosting? I think the name is fine.

That's what I've been using and idk if I need that much many features. Gogs gives me https+ssh, and a proper sane ui to quickly create accounts and config things. It's so lightweight I don't see me migrating to bigger stuff anytime soon. Any clue on what gitlab-only features people need that makes Gogs unusable or unfitting? make me really curious
There's the whole CI part. Gitea miss code comments for code review. Gitlab also have project management tools like issue boards And surely some other things i haven't looked into Gitea definitely do less but do it well and much in a much lighter way
It may be coming in the near future: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/3748

#76I know its not as sexy as new features, but I really wish gitlab took a look at performance. Currently its sitting at 9GiB of Memory on my dedicated server box for basically no users. I tried it on smaller instances but it was so painfully slow I ended up getting a cheap dedicated server from Hetzner.
For the past few years, I've been successfully running Gitolite[1] on a server with 1GB RAM. I recently checked out Gitlab as I thought it would be useful to have a nice web interface that allows users to easily see what projects are hosted and their corresponding URLs. I had to back away when I learned of Gitlab’s resource requirements.
Based on the sibling comments here, it looks like Gogs/Gitea should do what I want.

As you noted a lot of the planning features are focussed on portfolio management that is part of our ultimate tier.
The plans for starter are detailed on https://about.gitlab.com/direction/#starter right now the only issue management one is and API for boards https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/4266
Of course when you start paying for starter you gain the many features that are already in there: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/self-hosted/feature-compari...

We are continuing to improve our issue tracking / project management at different tiers. You can take a look at these epics and issues to see much of the work that we have already planned. Most of these issues are in Core or Starter:
https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8
https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5
https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6
https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/22
https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/156
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3969
Highlights are bulk subscriptions of issues, better subgroup support for labels and milestones, and expanded issue weight support.
Re: Gitlab 10.7 Released
#79Is there any roadmap for how the cloud-native chart is progressing? I’m really interested in switching to that, as the current implementation takes almost 15 minutes to restart and uses over 8GB RAM when idle for me.
The project hosting our WIP cloud-native chart is public and available at https://gitlab.com/charts/helm.gitlab.io It's currently in Alpha. You can see a list of ongoing efforts in https://gitlab.com/charts/helm.gitlab.io/issues

Re: Gitlab 10.7 Released
#80Gitlab is pretty much the only provider other than CircleCI to get CI right. I use their hosted gitlab version, but have their CI runner on our ci box that runs docker. It's fantastic.
What do other provides do wrong?
