Amazing how often Gitlab and Github seem to go down.

Of course developers often cherish the downtime - unless they need to push a hotfix.

Host Forgejo yourself if you do not want your business halting based on the prodeng fuckups of other teams.

Your own teams potential prodeng fuckups are risk enough.

Most stuff to setup monitor and worry about. Maybe it's worth it in your circumstances. Maybe not.

I mean, there's also the possibility of self-hosting GitLab if you want, a lot of companies do that because the feature set (and GitLab CI in particular) is quite pleasant: https://about.gitlab.com/install/

That said, keeping up with the updates wasn't all that pleasant, so I migrated my personal stuff over to Gitea and Drone CI (there's also Woodpecker CI), as well as Sonatype Nexus, that's a quite boring and workable setup.

The ideas behind Forgejo are pretty cool, for anyone curious: https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ it's just that I haven't had a reason to switch myself yet, similarly to how I was actually content with Gogs for the longest time ever.

When the link was first posted, the status page was showing all green while all GitLab.com links were returning HTTP 503.
