&gt; Due to the rapid growth, GitLab.com&#x27;s performance slowed down.<p>Not sure why Gitlab is still not able to scale the platform.<p>I run Gitlab on a 2 CPU 4GB RAM VM and it performs very well(even with fairly large repos). There is also the known issue with Gitlab CE itself being resource intensive, but in the case of the version hosted on Gitlab it seems to be a scaling issue.
