> automatic LetsEncrypt renewal for custom domains Really, is this new? I wasn't aware of it.
I want to say this is about 6/mo new guessing from when I wanted it to when I realised it had been added.

Yes, a product that is twice as expensive as Gitlab and has like 10% of the features.
So you (like 95% of the commenters here) prefer Gitlab be cause it’s cheap. Bodes well for the business model. Commodity pricing only works when the market gets bigger as the price goes down. Otherwise, it’s just a race to the bottom.
It's better than paying for 10 individual tools that don't work well together.

Oh, I was thinking of letsencrypt support directly in gitlab pages.

No, that's not what I said at all. I like it because it's fantastic value for money based on the features you get included with it, all in one place. It's better than paying for 10 individual tools that don't work well together.

whatever you want to call it, it’s spammy and more than a little desperate.
Sorry if you find this spammy! It's huge news for us and we all (of course lol) have a vested interest in making sure the company succeeds. Since we don't have Microsoft funding to enable us to throw resources at everything in our backlog, we rely heavily on user experience to help us prioritize. Which just so happens to come up much more organically on sites where devs are more empowered to voice their opinions free…
I have been watching you folks spam threads, over and over again, for years, with the same things: “we’re fixing performance!”, “making the UI better is a priority!”
The user complaints never change.
Instead of spamming threads with guerilla marketing, make your software better. What was cute when the company was four guys and a computer now just appears calculated and manipulative.
We’ve been using Gitlab for 4 years now. What got us initially was the free private repos before github had that. We are now a paying customer. Their integrated CICD is amazing. It works perfectly for all our needs and integrates really easily with AWS and GCP. Also their customer service is really damn good. If I ever have an issue, it’s dealt with so fast and with so much detail. Honestly one of the best customer s…
GitLab employee here. Thanks so much for the kind words - I shared it on our internal Slack as a #thanks [1] to the whole team (and specifically our support engineering group who I agree are AMAZING). [1] https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/communication/#say-thanks

Corporate usage. GitHub is the standard so pretty much everyone has a GitHub account, companies ask for GitHub accounts on applications, it's the hub currently. GitLab is the superior product in all regards, but GitHub has the network.
When I was applying for jobs recently, a few of them had explicit GitHub link fields, sometimes even regex validated to ensure ONLY GitHub links got posted. I didn't finish filling out those applications.

Just curious how this works out for you? When I tried this, even when the spot bid was way above current price, it would often be stuck in a pending state since spot instances don't get created immediately. Do you get spot instances to be created immediately on demand somehow?
Yep we see spot instances immediately created - there's no noticeable delay (compared to build times) against having permanent EC2 instances running. For our runners we want to use spot instances, the important part of the gitlab-runner register command are: --executor docker+machine \ --machine-machine-driver amazonec2 \ --machine-machine-options "amazonec2-request-spot-instance=true \ --machine-machine-options "ama…
