About 10 years ago someone said we should move to self hosting because bitbucket who we used were unreliable. I looked at the status page and say 2 hours of downtime over 3-months, while we have 3-4 days of downtime on our self hosted jenkins during the same time. I always think of that when I see people complain about services being unreliable. Often we see one or two problems in short span and forget about the mont…

We've been told that it's a known issue being discussed with GitLab but that could just be CYA. But in any case, it's the "at scale, while changing" that tends to cause problems. Perhaps this is a continuing argument for self-hosting, especially if you don't have to expose the instance publicly. B…
I'm confused. You can do zero-downtime backups and replication of databases. I don't know what your company / Gitlab are doing but it seems wrong.
