GitHub has been having enough outages lately that people are starting to ask whether it makes sense to look elsewhere.
Ever since Github got acquired by ...
You don’t see the deal breaker because your requirements are clearly low enough that open-core software works for your use case. Your experience is not universal. Your inexperience is leading you to believe you’re more knowledgeable than you really are. I don’t need to explain myself to someone that engages in bad faith arguments.
Let me guess, you chose Gitlab because you’re a DHH fanboy?
To add some context, GitHub’s primary strength is integrating different services. GitLab’s primary strength is being “the one thing” that you use. It really depends on your business which one makes most strategic sense. For small to medium, GitLab is great. Even large it can work amazingly.
However, I’ll put my anecdotal two cents in and say that GitHub comes out ahead for very large enterprises, or if you do collaborative, or Business 2 Business stuff, just because of it’s integrations. Integrations are king once you get to scale. If you’re using GitLab + anything else, it’s friction for each additional tool you use, rather than a force multiplier. At a certain point it restricts you.
besides the fact that there’s no decent alternative for workloads of a certain size/scale?
Which almost nobody needs?
What is missing from GitLab?
A platform that is down for almost a whole day every month does not seem like a decent alternative for those workloads
Honestly. GitHub has been playing catch-up to Gitlab’s features for like decade to me. I still prefer their ci runner model to this day.
If you have to ask the question, you haven’t made a serious comparison of the two.
No, I have just migrated my company to self-hosted GL and found a better experience with literally no downsides.
I think it is a fair question, because I really don’t see what could be the deal-breaker. Is it copilot, or the terrible GitHub actions?

Not the person, but get off your high horse, and either explain what you mean, or shut up.
Thats a lot of words to say nothing of value.

That’s a lot of words over two comments to avoid answering a simple question
Thanks for continuing to put your inexperience on display. If you’re so certain you’re right, you don’t need my answer.
Ah, it’s me who’s certain to be right and is avoiding discussion by being elitist, sure.
Bye, enjoy refreshing GitHub for hours
Oh noes. Some internet rando called me names because I wouldn’t provide free labor for them. You sure told me.
You’re getting blasted for some reason lol
