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/

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

Are you saying MS would sabotage Gitlab.com on Azure?

Isn't Netflix running on the same platform (AWS) as Amazon Prime?

Realistic speaking, what's the huge win for GitLab?

Tried both gitlab and bitbucket as alternatives. Bibucket server is a-b-y-s-m-al. We use it at work and the UX is so clunky and backwards and for a solution that is intended for enterprise use, most of the logic in the UI/UX seems to not be directed towards a multi-user environment at all. Bitbucket cloud is more or less the same experience. Gitlab is known to be unstable and i'll give it to them, the UI improved a b…

I agree that bitbucket aka shitbucket like all Atlassian products is a POS, but GitLab is far from unstable? We moved to GitLab (self hosted) and it’s been nothing but incredibly reliable for our 120~ people organisation and we use it heavily for mission critical code control, CI/CD and internal Wikis, if it was even slightly unstable - there’s no way we’d still be using it let alone raving about it.

We doubled down on Gitlab some two years ago, coming at it skeptically with our experiences from the years before that. It's come a long way, it's a great product, but maybe the initial pains are still somewhat in our memories then?

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/

What could anybody need IPv6 on a website for? Users who don’t have IPv4 connectivity or what?

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?

Panic because "look what happened to Skype!" even though nobody here has used Skype.

> even though nobody here has used Skype

Where did you get this idea from? A lot of us used the old, 2.x Skype.

The demise of Skype was not in the 90s. There are reasons to be vary of the news, although the immediate panic is unaccounted for.

Well, they have "improved" Linkedin and Skype to the point that usability has gone way down, and resource use way up. It's easy to extrapolate and expect the same with github.

Fortunately we mostly use the repos, not any of the other features, so migrating away will be easy if needed.

We will update this information, thanks for your pointer jobvandervoort!

And just updated.

Fair enough, there were a lot of radical UX changes early on but we’ve never had a problem with stability / reliability, by comparison we see a number of Github outages over any given year - to be fair that’s on the hosted product but I would most certainly not want to run Github ‘enterprise’ - it’s a VM image with MySQL and a bunch of other less than desirable technologies.

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

What’s going to happen to atom? Rip, long live vsc? ;/

Is IPv6 a driver for anyone?

For us, we have a large userbase in China, and my understanding (could be wrong!) is that Chinese users generally use IPv6.

We're hosted on GitHub presently though, so I don't have access to the server logs to see if I'm wrong about that. :)
