I got burned so many times by GitLab I can't in good conscience use them anymore. I always try to use an OSS product when I can, but I literally lost a client a few years back because we couldn't do a deploy because GL was down. For now I use GH for critical projects and a self hosted Gitea instance when it's not super critical.

On the flip side, we switched to our own hosted-on-k8s GitLab summer 2019 and it's been rock solid since. I patch it monthly (via Helm) and it's painless.

About 100 users and it handles all of our CI, which runs on a separate GKE node pool.

To be fair, Github actions has a spotty record as well. https://www.githubstatus.com/history

One of the benefits of gitlab is you can host it yourself. Github has also had outages.
