The idea behind this effort is to put you in a cloud native hyper cloud environment of your choice to start with and make that just as easy as Heroku. The big difference will be when you "graduate" - you'll already be in AWS or what have you, and under the covers isn't a black box but is a well formed set of GitLab primitives that you can now continue to use and expand upon.
And the "we" there refers more to my team - the author of the post is on my team. GitLab OKRs start at the company level, but every team has their own that roll up: https://about.gitlab.com/company/okrs/.
This is how "unfiltered" blogs work: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/blog/unfiltered/
Here's the context if someone really does care: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/marketing/corporate_marketing/...
It's also important to note in a non-transparent company you wouldn't see any of this
Also it's very early stages - but the goal would to be better than Beanstalk
That is correct - we also will be posting updates here: https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus/.
We're actively working on mitigating this spam attack: https://twitter.com/gitlabstatus/status/1358777539624198145
As for the issue redirects - it does stink. It's an artifact of our move to a single code base for CE and EE [1]. A lot of issues have long-standing SEO so the "old" issue often comes up in a Google search.

This is fantastic! If interested, you may want to check out our program for Open Source users of GitLab: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/community-relati....
That is correct - in 2017 https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2017/03/15/gitter-acquisition/. But as announced today, Gitter will be going to Matrix going forward.
GitLab also detects if there is a conflict on a merge request as things change and will notify the user
We've been sharing updates on the linked status page, the original link of this thread.
As is mentioned in the issue you linked, it appears there is some network peering issue for some types of traffic between Level 3 in Philly and Cloudflare. We've been pushing escalation at both providers.
I feel your frustration as it's impacting me too. Right now I'm only able to work around it being an intermittent problem by connecting to a VPN. Unfortunately the packets aren't even getting to Cloudflare, much less to us, so while we're pushing as hard as we can, there's nothing we can actually do beyond that.
GitLab flow is much closer to trunk based development than git flow is. While no one "flow" works for everyone, I think that we are clearly in agreement that the simpler you can make your workflow, the better. The problem is some companies and organizations can't get all the way to trunk-based development based on their own regulatory needs or the type of software they are producing.
That's why we think GitLab flow is a great way to balance both - in fact in the other linked blog post [1] we mention that GitLab flow should allow for CD from either branches or tags. From the main branch would then basically be the same as trunk based development, yes?
