You'd be surprised what you can do by carefully considering what the desired outcome actually needs to be.
Maybe there is justification for all the gems in gitlab's Gemfile, I didn't go through it with a fine tooth comb - but this reaffirms my experience that complex projects outgrow monolith codebases. Having an infrastructure outage take down your entire business is kind of a symptom of that.
