Seems like they have it mostly resolved, the releationships were restored from a backup 3 hours prior to the incident, and they are working to restore the data for the 313 (sic.) items still affected: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/348547

I was confused by the title. Apparently epics are a way to organize issues by themes across projects. GitHub doesn't have this concept, in case anyone else was wondering.

GitLab team member here, most of the affected relationships have been restored. If you are still affected, please let us know in the incident issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/issues/6...

I am curious, how frequently does GitLab backup their DB? 3 hours seems pretty recent

I would expected them to have point-in-time recovery, especially from the last time when they accidentally dropped the production database.

That's because github isn't trying to be a replacement for JIRA and source control for most teams.

their latest updates to their project management features[1] launched as part of the "new" issues are totally going in that direction though.

I'm unsure as to whether that's a good thing or not.
