It looks like it's now impossible to login to gitlab.com web interface via Tor. I only post it here because it was a recent sudden silent change that made gitlab.com unavailable to some, and there does not seem to be a response.

What keeps me from using gitlab.com is that they flat out reject a signup with an email from my email provider.

Anybody else having that problem?

I wonder if they have a whitelist and only accept users who use the big boys like gmail etc. Or if they for some reason have totally legit email providers on their blacklist.

Hi! There are a lot of new features with this update, so here are a few highlights: -improved version of Gitaly service called Gitaly Cluster for high availability git storage [1] -simplified deployment of GitLab to Amazon ECS [2] -added epic hierarchy on roadmaps (+ other improvements to our epic and milestone features) [3] [1] https://about.gitlab.com/releases/2020/05/22/gitlab-13-0-rel... [2] https://about.gitlab.…

-Reduced memory consumption of GitLab with Puma [1]

Puma reduces the memory footprint of GitLab by about 40% compared to Unicorn.

Considering one of the most frequent complains about Gitlab is memory usage. 40% is huge.

The thing that is really missing in gitlab CI is the impossibility to define a matrix for builds. We have to do the same actions on different environments and it is very troublesome.

Agreed! That's why we are working on it this release - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/15356

Have you tried signing up with a gmail then changing you primary email in profile?

Edit: @gmx. address by any chance?

I was so happy when I saw the attention paid to deployment on ECS that I thought maybe they finally (years later) put some more attention into GCP[1], but it appears not. Hopefully in some time in the next few months! [1] https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/charts/-/epics/4

Hi Dimitri. We are in the process of deprecating the current GKE listing which Google will be replacing with a single click to deploy listing, currently targeted to go live before the end of June. Thanks for your interest and patience. For more details on other GCP plans see https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-com/-/epics/322. Larissa Lane, Distribution Product Manager

I really like GitLab, especially the Kubernetes integration. Its nice to see some Terraform integration as well. I do hope some of the security scanning goes to lower tiers, that can be very helpful.

The biggest issue with GitLab I find is their stubbornness to have different prices for reporters vs developers[0][1]. It really makes no sense other than they just want more money (even though they are losing a bunch because lots of companies refuse to do it).
