I partly agree, but those that have done the research or already use Gitlab know that Gitlab&#x27;s uptime <i>has</i> been problematic compared to Github&#x27;s, which is a bigger issue for most companies than the community. As sytse correctly notes below, it&#x27;s a lot better than it was a few months ago - but the pessimistic&#x2F;risk-averse way to say that is &quot;as recently as two months ago they were having major uptime issues&quot;. I have high hopes for Gitlab and I think they&#x27;re doing great things, it&#x27;s always great to see new competition in the space. And I applaud their transparency, it&#x27;s refreshing! But it&#x27;ll require some more &quot;burn in&quot; time before I consider it a reliable Github replacement, all questions of critical mass aside.
