Gitlab has been a fully remote proponent going back a few years and these persistent reliability issues add some doubt to that model - even if there might be altogether other issues in play.
Hi, GitLab team member here. Heads-up: GitLab.com appears to be stable again. Our engineers are monitoring and investigating the root cause of the incident. https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus/status/1371443832865222658
Out of curiosity, why does your "about" page vouch for a suspended Twitter account? Is @GitLab -> @GitLabs a typo? https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/community-relati... @GitLab
Please note that about.gitlab.com contains all our static content, including our 10,000 page handbook. This typo isn’t on our main about page but deep in the marketing handbook.

The page has formatting problems, I'll rework this in a separate MR.

Yes. They (GitHub) have been doing a lot worse. Last time I checked, they where completely down 2 days ago. [0] Before that, GitHub Actions was down 14 days ago: [1]. At least with GitLab, you can set up a self-hosted solution for free as a backup, unlike GitHub (Unless you want to pay a lot for GH Enterprise) where some have 'gone all in on GitHub Actions' and then some couldn't push that critical change [2] before…
> Maybe its time to setup a self-hosted backup VCS and not depend entirely on GitHub/GitLab web. I've been wanting to do this for some time purely for git hosting (don't care about CI at all) but wasn't sure about how to make it failover... Personally i'd be happy with a headless git server, but that's not fair on everyone else who wants the GUI to browse and organise stuff, so I want gitlab etc to deal with that. Wh…
Gitlab has a repo mirroring feature [1]. But of course you'd also need to sync users public keys.
Downtimes are so infrequent and relatively short that this isn't worth the effort for me.
You can instead set up a read-only mirror so people can at least still pull and browse the code.. Gitea [2] might be a better choice than Gitlab, since it's much more lightweight and easier to host.

Thanks! It is a typo and I submitted a fix https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/merge_request... Please note that about.gitlab.com contains all our static content, including our 10,000 page handbook. This typo isn’t on our main about page but deep in the marketing handbook.
I merely wanted to verify the @ was authentic, and that page was the top "site:gitlab.com" result.

Cheers for that. I merely wanted to verify the @ was authentic, and that page was the top "site:gitlab.com" result.
time to add a new backup remote to all our repos.
