Pressed "Order Now" but I get a 500 Internal Error! https://shop.ungleich.ch/shop/product/private-gitlab-hosting... > Internal Server Error > The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

We are about to fix it - we did not expect that many hits on this system. stay tuned.

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?

Not to mention the fact that there hasn't been any kind of official announcement from either party yet.

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?

We currently run on Azure. GitLab integrates deeply with Kubernetes and specifically GKE, so it makes sense to run GitLab.com there: https://about.gitlab.com/2018/04/05/gke-gitlab-integration/

The Internet does, what it does best nowadays: freaking out for 1 or at maximum 2 days about a single topic.

Looking forward to the next shitstorm on Wednesday or Thursday.

Not really an alternative I think. A VM needs management. The good thing about a cloud solution (like Github, Bitbucket) is somebody else is keeping the server up and secure.

I'm guessing the people using vscode aren't the ones "freaking out", but I could be wrong.

I am sure getting off your main competitors platform is a huge win now!
