> any large business will already be doing Backups, DR etc for their existing systems Any ? Are you sure?
Lol don't crush their optimism, the real world will do it for you in due time
If you work in a large business that needs git but doesn't have backups and has no disaster recovery plan at all you're going to have much bigger things to worry about than a git repo being offline.

Been doing it for 20 years so far. If you work in a large business that needs git but doesn't have backups and has no disaster recovery plan at all you're going to have much bigger things to worry about than a git repo being offline.

It depends on your needs and team size. For few tens of dev that need a versioning system with some sugar, a self hosted gitlab can acieve better uptime.
> a self hosted gitlab can acieve better uptime. Gonna call BS on that. It can achieve better uptime, if you ignore the downtime for upgrades, the downtime for configuration errors, the downtime when the disk fills up...
So 10 minutes a month for upgrades, zero time for the rest because you are managing it just fine.

Gitlab can be self hosted
And we all know self-hosted software never goes down. Although I guess the benefit is that the CTO gets a psychological lift of looking over Jeremy from IT's shoulder when he tries to fix the issue rather than being at the mercy of some engineers which the company can't fire.
I've been running self-hosted software, and GitLab in particularly, for over a decade at various jobs.
It almost never goes down. It fact, its up way way way more often that GitHub!
Hearts out to all the GitHub SREs who get to fix this, and all the SREs at GitHub’s customers who get to spend the next week convincing management and their peers that moving git in house won’t result in fewer outages.
Our on-prem GH enterprise hasn't gone down in the last year. Additionally any potentially disruptive work like upgrades etc can be scheduled outside of business hours so that they won't impact users

I self-host Subversion and haven’t had an unplanned outage in more than a decade :) (almost two decades?)

How’s your experience with Subversion? What kind of content do store in SVN, BTW?
