| Hi, GitLabber here. There are several inaccuracies in your comment. Hopefully, I can clarify and comment. > Google is an investor in GitLab Not true. GV invested in GitLab. GV != Google. (Just do a web search to learn the difference.) > push heavily for GCP to their customers offering USD 200 free credits True. It's free credit for our users, of course, we let them know :) Note that this is Google's standard partner credit. All their partners offer this. It's not unique to GitLab. > Zero marketing mentions regarding integrations with AWS Not true. Amazon is also a GitLab partner, and We officially support EKS: https://about.gitlab.com/2018/06/06/eks-gitlab-integration/ > Sometimes it feels like a cheap Google adware. This may be accurate. I think we got this wrong the 1st time out of the gate. Here's an issue where we improved the look and feel to be less 'adware' and more informative. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48804 > advertised themselves as a cloud agnostic We are a cloud-agnostic company and we do advertise it. (e.g. even in our launch post for the GCP marketplace we make a point to say "you can install GitLab almost anywhere" https://about.gitlab.com/2018/07/18/install-gitlab-one-click...) Although, perhaps not enough. This is good feedback that we need to make this message more front-and-center. |
