Not sure if the doc here is refreshing or scary. But Godspeed GitLab team. I've loved the product for about two years now, so curious to see how this plays out.

It's both.

I very much appreciate their forthrightness and the way they conduct their company generally. Having said that, I have the code I work on, related content, and a number of clients on the service.

[edit for additional point]

They need the infrastructure guy they've been looking for sooner than later. I hope there's good progress on that front.

We've hired some great new people recently but as you can see there is still a lot work to do. https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/production-engineer/

I've just DM'd you in twitter with some PostgreSQL advice ;)

Note for the person that downvoted my comment: GitLab are fantastic, I'm a big advocate for their product & support. My comment to Sid was in support of helping based on some of the notes I saw in their very transparent report, Sid & I have talked several times in the past & I have quite a bit of PostgreSQL experience - so my comment was a positive one offering support when / if needed, not a negative / piss take if it came off as such.

You've got working backups though, right? Or at least a local copy?
