I use gitlab daily and have not experienced any outage in last 6 months probably.

6 months is a pretty low bar for a SCM tool.

Github has had frequent downtime too in the last 6 months too. For a low bar, it seems to be fairly hard to clear.

I can't be the only one that feels that GitLab has extended downtime at least weekly, sometimes bi-weekly.

It is usually their shared runners. I experience outages with them a couple times a month. It isn't a big deal since we maintain our own private pool, so I just move jobs to them. (They make you pay for CI minutes so we use them for certain jobs.)

This is why we have "fortnightly" in the English language.

ok

Like it or not, fortnightly and “once every two weeks” are your only unambiguous choices.

We actually had a programming interview question using biweekly at a previous job. It was about thorough requirements definition and understanding/agreeing to measurements.

Github seems to be doing worse

Well, they are stretching and extending gitlab with more and more functions.. With a... Not so great code base..

Hi, what could be improved in GitLab's code base in your opinion? :)

Our self-hosted GitLab instance is running fine!

Pitty its licensing cost will go up ten fold next year.

Is there any code base in this world that developers would not complain about? ;)

In the past people have suggested we rewrite GitLab in Scala, Haskell, Node.js, and IIRC also regular Java.

I think it mostly comes down to "I didn't write it, so it's bad" :)
