That's cool, but I wish they'd polish the base experience a little bit first. As well as stop this 'everything on kubernetes' thing. Right now I need kubernetes for at least half of all Gitlab functionality, and I have no doubt this latest acquisition will be the same thing.
GitLab acquires Peach Tech and Fuzzit

Re: GitLab acquires Peach Tech and Fuzzit
#12This seems to be similar to GitHub adding automated code analysis and screening as well as detecting flaws in what would become the built artifacts like external APIs. In a sense they are delivering static analysis which used to cost a lot of money, time and dedicated manpower (i.e. HP Fortify). It makes sense for those companies to expand beyond what they already have. Starting with version control systems, going on…
Lol!
Sorry, the lol was meant as a reply to ‘ One could argue that GitLab gets more and more mature but somehow still has Peach Fuzz.’

That’s funnier than the joke itself as I was scratching my head to understand the joke in
> It makes sense for those companies to expand beyond what they already have. Starting with version control systems, going on to Wikis, static websites, actions/automation, CI, artifact hosting. It will eventually contain the entire lifecycle it seems.
Because from what I understand wasn’t this the goal from early on? :)

#15I have a genuine curiosity about GitLab as a business:
Are they actually growing much more in the mindset of developers since GitHub started doing some things right?
I have personally always wanted alternatives and GitLab* is a good one, but the reason I can not say they are a great one is because somehow* their story to me feels too much "against GitHub" than their own story.
GitHub made a lot of mess and eventually they undid some or just enough that they still retain the lion's share of public repos/projects. This matters a lot because community is great power, whoever holds it, holds key to future mindshare.
I want GitLab to be a larger part of the developers mindset everywhere, but I am not sure that is happening at the moment. Why not? If my assumptions are wrong, that is also acceptable to me, would like to see some signals.

Gitlab is much cheaper and for companies building closed source projects there’s no need to be using what the “community” is.

Tried locally hosted Gitlab once. It was so cumbersome to install I doubt I'd ever try again without containers or proven installers.

The Omnibus package is literally a one line install.

Biggest features of GitLab has been the integrated CI and the Omnibus docker image.
Those two things are pretty much what makes it better than other self hosted solutions.

Historically their upgrades cause issues; I remember the time I upgraded our self-hosted installation and LDAP logins were broken, for example.
