GitHub Has an Availability Problem. Is It Time to Look Elsewhere?
dhruv2038.bearblog.dev/github-has-an-availability-problem-is-it-time-to-look-elsewhere/long past time. what’s taking people so long
what’s taking people so long
besides the fact that there’s no decent alternative for workloads of a certain size/scale?
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
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?
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?
Replying to @wakko@lemmy.world
You’re getting blasted for some reason lol
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.
