I agree that bitbucket aka shitbucket like all Atlassian products is a POS, but GitLab is far from unstable? We moved to GitLab (self hosted) and it’s been nothing but incredibly reliable for our 120~ people organisation and we use it heavily for mission critical code control, CI/CD and internal Wikis, if it was even slightly unstable - there’s no way we’d still be using it let alone raving about it.

We doubled down on Gitlab some two years ago, coming at it skeptically with our experiences from the years before that. It's come a long way, it's a great product, but maybe the initial pains are still somewhat in our memories then?

Fair enough, there were a lot of radical UX changes early on but we’ve never had a problem with stability / reliability, by comparison we see a number of Github outages over any given year - to be fair that’s on the hosted product but I would most certainly not want to run Github ‘enterprise’ - it’s a VM image with MySQL and a bunch of other less than desirable technologies.

my bad - was referencing gitlab cloud. I've maintained a private gitlab instance for my team some 3-4 years ago that was dockerized, it went quite ok, despite docker being rather new at that point.
