GitLab is so overloaded right now that the ngnix server is returning 503 Bad Gateway. Do they have the capacity to handle all the projects being moved over from Github?

We've had to do this before. Remember when Sourceforge tried putting adware into open source downloads? Many projects left Sourceforge then. That was tougher. Github to Gitlab is easy.

Microsoft has put adware and spyware in their operating system. We have to expect that they may try something like that with Github. They may say they won't, but that's non-binding and meaningless.

Sorry about that. Was the 503 on GitLab.com (main application) or on the link in this discussion (monitor.gitlab.net)? The latter is to a public monitoring dashboard. It has been offline a couple of times today due to influx of traffic. We're closely monitoring it and attempting to keep it online. At the moment, GitLab.com itself has been absorbing the additional load, though. Let us know if you're seeing other issues.

I really like how the devs from gitlab are active on the HN thread and replying to people facing problems! Hardly see that with mature products anymore! Great going guys!
