I don't know how many people actually consider switching, but adding a few private repos to the free github plan will probably make 99% of them reconsider on the spot and even make others switch to github. I doubt MS made the aquisition for the direct profits.

#52500 when traffic spikes, and you have the guts to name this an alternative to GitHub? Hubris.
Hubris has long since been acknowledged as a virtue and anyway, there's no need to be so rude about it!

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
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!
Why should GitLab abandon Azure? Things are working for them just fine. Now when Google acquires GitLab I'm sure that moving to GCP will be a requirements but until then there's no threat to GitLab just because they are running on a platform owned by a Platinum member of the Linux foundation (something Amazon and Google can't say).

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?
To answer your question: no I was not implying that.
All it takes a someone in the billing department leaking metadata to a project manager for confidential information to leak (traffic numbers, storage trends etc.).
Sure trust every employee of your only real competitor if you want, but I wouldn't if it was my business and I had alternatives.

#55"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?
The price is now visible again - we did not expect that much traffic today, to be honest.
However stuff is all up again now.

#56I’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?
Microsoft is still the same, believe me. I've visited their HQ in .ch recently and even they confirmed it internally.

People like to be dramatic. This is good though, I'd like to see a bit more variety and support for other git services.
That is actually a very good otucome, if it actually happens.

#58Tried 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.
my bad - was referencing gitlab cloud.
I've maintained a private gitlab instance for my team some 3-4 years ago that was dockerized, it went quite ok, despite docker being rather new at that point.

#59Pressed "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.
And fixed. Sorry for the short downtime.
