-Reduced memory consumption of GitLab with Puma [1]

Puma reduces the memory footprint of GitLab by about 40% compared to Unicorn.

Considering one of the most frequent complains about Gitlab is memory usage. 40% is huge.

It is! We're super excited about it. We've been running it on GitLab.com for some time now, and it's been great to see.

According to the blog post, the labels are saying that this isn't available on any versions (free, bronze, silver, gold) of gitlab.com?

We didn't mark it as a feature of GitLab.com since the company decides if it is used, we also pay for the hosting (memory) cost, and there should be no end-user difference between Puma and Unicorn. But I agree that there is an argument for marking it as available there since all of GitLab.com runs on it.

You're welcome! The team worked hard to move it down in one release!

oops misspoke and now I can't edit, I meant deployment of applications to AWS (hopefully you knew what I meant!)
