Why don't GitHub and GitLab support IPv6?

https://about.gitlab.com/features/#efficiency

"If you host GitLab yourself, IPv6 is supported as long as your underlying provider can support it. GitLab.com on the other hand does not support IPv6 at the moment due to limited provider support."

On the comparison with GitLab you mention we don't support IPv6. We do if you host your own. We will enable it for GitLab.com once we're done with the migration to GCP [0]. Our pricing is per user, tiered. Not per-user and then per feature. Although I understand that's not far off from each other.[1] [0]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47216 [1]: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/

Just out of curiosity why did you decide to use GCP rather than Azure or AWS?

Is IPv6 a driver for anyone?

I have not heard it mentioned by any user / customer / other community member in the last year, but I think it makes sense to support it.

I think their comparison is wrong. In Gitlab you don't need to pay per user. It's free and the ppu plans are for paid features. Which you still need to pay for per user with the self-hosted solution. So they only provide a managed Gitlab Core installation. I don't see any point of this. Like what am I missing here?

You can tell the marketing guy was really grasping at straws to get something on the comparison that could be considered an advantage.

I’m not entirely sure why people are freaking out at this point. This is not the Microsoft of the 90s. How many of these folks are happy to use VSCode and then turn around and panic at this acquisition?

People like to be dramatic. This is good though, I'd like to see a bit more variety and support for other git services.

"Our products are designed for people who want to get things done. Smoothly and the right way[tm]. "

Interesting then that their Q&A page has been hammered to death by HN. What is this product? What does it do, apart from ipv6? What is the price?
