you could move to gitlab, but from what im hearing the pricing is higher than github (is this still true?)

Barring that you always have the tried and true (and for some reason abhorred by start-ups) option of running your own gitea or gitlab instance. Its not hard, and most of this stuff can be done in dockerless containers if you want.

If cloud servers are getting "overloaded" as some commenters say, you could even buy a few racks or u's of colo somewhere or use a cloud provider that isnt the most popular meme on YC. Vultr and ramnode are both good options and youd be supporting a small business, not Bezos next giga-yacht.

Github actually recently reduced their prices to match some of Gitlab's offerings.

vultr is considered a small business now? crunchbase lists them as having 50-100 employees, and they seem to be owned by Choopa, LLC which some sources list as having 150 employees.

GitLab community advocate here, just wanted to share the most up to date GitLab pricing information: https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/ Thanks!
