As always, the neat thing about GitLab is how open they are with their process. I enjoyed this read, and followed the trail down to a corresponding ticket, where the staff is discussing their actual plans for moving to bare metal. Very cool.
You won't find any organization that's much more open than Wikimedia.
Disclosure: I work for Wikimedia (on the release engineering team)
