GitLab's usage of team members in marketing material is creeping me out (as does the whole team page[0]). [0] https://about.gitlab.com/team/
BTW We don't call it a family https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/leadership/#management-tea...
I wish they would focus on making a fast, stable, GitHub alternative.
This is Gitlab taking stuff they were doing already internally and making it available to a broader audience. Once you take VC funding, you gotta go where the money is. Everyone wants/expects "fast, stable, like Github" for free unless you have special needs. So, you do analytics on what people are doing with your free site, you offer enterprisey features, you get into the "platform" business etc. I think Gitlab dist…
We have hired 3 times as many people in our security team for GitLab.com (not our product team for security) as are working on Meltano.
We have hired 3 times as many people in our SRE teams as are working on Meltano.
And we still have a lot of vacancies for both https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/
I can't understand why GitLab thinks they have to embark on a new project every so often instead of focusing on their current product and features. There is just a lot to work on, so many of the current features/products are half assed. At my place we moved to GitLab 2.5 years ago and updates where smoother back then but the past few months we had to hire a new sys admin for our build machines and GitLab server to fo…
Agreed - our company moved to Gitlab about the same time (2.5 years ago) and it's very clear from their updates that their focus has splintered in different directions. Our company has recently moved to more Microsoft products so I am pushing our CTO to move to Github. If the CEO is following this, please improve basic user stories like: * As a user, I want to easily know who has approved my merge request. Note the w…
Can you explain further what you mean by "pending actions on them"? We are working to simplify and streamline our notifications and todos in GitLab. In particular, the current thinking is that they are very similar. A "notification" is an email, and a "todo" is a something that GitLab calls your attention to in the Web UI to take action on. So mechanically, they are very similar and we would like to harmonize them.
Our latest discussion is in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48787.

Really no, look at all the comments here (and this is only from techies): you have lost us, we don't know anymore what you are doing, or even trying to do.
We are trying to make a single application that covers the whole DevOps lifecycle, from planning your change up to monitoring its effect. We're doing it because we believe there are emergent benefits to having the lifecycle in a single application https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/single-application...
I'm using Gitlab, btw, but only for the self-hosted git and it's user interface (ie. your core). All the other parts (bug tracking, CI, chat, ...) are in different and more appropriate tools for each of our use-cases... because most of yours are not complete enough, or sometimes it's not even clear how they actually could work for us (mattermost for example).
Do you see this as a (future) competitor of Airflow/Luigi type workflow tools?

We've improved a number of confusing approval widget states in GitLab 11.2 (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/5439) which will ship later this month in and the ability to filter merge requests by approver is in development by a community member (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/1951).
This is just the beginning though – code reviews and approvals are at the heart of the daily workflows of writing software and we'll be continuing to make them even better. I'm particularly excited about more structured code reviews with batch comments in 11.3 (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/1984), better navigation between files in merge request diffs with a file tree in 11.4 (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14249), and our first iteration of code owners (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/5382) also in 11.4.
Thanks for the disapprove merge request idea. We're considering this idea in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/761 where further feedback would be much appreciated, or on any other issue.

Loading a Merge Request with 168 changes, basically breaks a 4cpu's 4gb instance on gitlab, so yes, "the most basic areas of the core product is almost unusable". And while some integration is good... A lot of recent stuff is just "we try to grab the easy money"
Yep, load times of large merge requests was a big problem. In 11.1 we launched a refactor of merge requests to solve this https://about.gitlab.com/2018/07/22/gitlab-11-1-released/#me... That got the time down for the worst case we measure from 15 seconds to 3 seconds, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17671300
(P.S.: I also have the same source in gitea of a way less powerful instance which basically renders the whole thing in way less than 1 second.)
Is there any example of an open source software company that has taken on so many products at once, so early in its life, and succeeded?
We did https://about.gitlab.com/2017/10/11/from-dev-to-devops/ when we where at 50% of our current number of engineers. So far so good.
Is there some resemblance with Floydhub http://floydhub.com/ ?
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of similar offerings to floydhub? or OSS alternatives? I think this market is not being served properly, most of them seem to still require most of the heavy lifting to be done by the ML practitioner. I suppose I would even be okay with a service that just saves all my graphs from tensorboard for later reviewing.
Reading this I was concerned that it would be written in Ruby. While Ruby is a reasonable language for server development, it has almost no data science community when compared with some other ecosystems. I was very glad to see this is Python! Python has some of the best data tools out there, and a mature ecosystem for solving all the engineering problems that go along with a great data stack.
