Gitlab API is amazingly simple and flexible, can be used efficiently from the terminal to list CI jobs, your issues, edit them,.. Gitlab CI is top-notch, things like CI_COMMIT_BEFORE_SHA environment variable for monorepos is a killer feature, now npm registry, .. Gitlab wiki for documentations

At work we are using Atlassian products, they would be so efficiently replaced by just Gitlab

Sadly not in situations where you need overview for more then one project. Viewing of mergerequest for all projects you have access to was disabled cause of performance problems.

We've started using Gitlab where I work and it's so much better than GitHub. The built in CI and the activity view are features I just can't live without anymore. I also prefer Gitlab's merge requests to Github's PR system, and the UI overall is just tons better. The other thing is that GHE is an afterthought always behind github.com and with Gitlab, that's the main product, although gitlab.com is what we're using and it's gold. The only thing I miss is contribution stats which you have to pay extra for, and I hope we do.

Tangentially related, but GitLab has developed surprisingly good (albeit still incomplete) support for org-mode and many other markup languages. So it's extremely easy to publish say a wiki built with org and they render it beautifully.

I've found this invaluable for working solo or in group projects.

How well does on-premises Gitlab work? Can it run relatively maintenance-free? I heard some negative stories, but I don't know what is true. My team of devs doesn't have a dedicated sysadmin.

Why not cloud Gitlab?

I admin it for a small team of around 25. I've never had a failed upgrade, and have managed better uptime than Github and Gitlab, as it never gets DOS'd.

I'm running GitLab via Docker, and I love it.

I previously managed Atlassian instances and I dreaded ever touching the servers.

GitLab def has there shit together in this regard.

edit: I forgot, when issue, their docker container uses tmp memory that never seems to free itself. I occasionally (once a year) have to rm and recreate the container, which isn't a huge deal for me.
