Yes. I am a paying member and thus I get the member newsletter where finances are disclosed and discussed. It’s a low-cost operation and we have enough reserves in the bank.
However, I am concerned about the long-term sustainability of Codeberg, especially if it plans to support CI (which is resource-intensive) and attract a significantly larger user base.
Similarweb statistics indicate a substantial difference in traffic between Codeberg and GitHub. While Codeberg has approximately 2 million page views (700.8K visits * 2.78 pages/visits) per month, GitHub boasts over 2.7 billion (462.4M visits * 6 pages/visits). This translates to Codeberg having roughly 0.1% of GitHub's traffic.
If Codeberg aims to reach even 10% of GitHub's traffic, the operational costs would likely increase by a factor of 100 or much more ( almost certain ). Has Codeberg internally addressed this scalability challenge and outlined strategies for managing such growth? What are Codeberg's long-term goals in terms of user base and features, and how do they plan to balance these aspirations with sustainability?
Thank you.
Why? If you want to support it, do so. If it collapses, change some git repository URLs in your READMEs.
