Gitlab is a great service and a great alternative to github and bitbucket. But it has been quite flaky over many years and it's quite surprising they haven't prioritised system stability over everything else. https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus
Gitlab has been a fully remote proponent going back a few years and these persistent reliability issues add some doubt to that model - even if there might be altogether other issues in play.
