We didn't do a livestream since we were concerned about showing credentials in the terminal in case things didn't go according to plan. We did record it and plan to publish it since it went according to plan.

GitLab VPE here. This instinct proved correct. We'll look into editing the video this week after the team gets a breather.
Great, thank you for clarifying that. I haven't yet had to carry out such a massively involved migration plan, and so I'm always interested in learning from the process of others.
And congratulations to the whole team on the move. I know it must be a relief now that it's behind you.
Thank you.
It's not quite over though. Monday traffic will be far higher than the weekend. People will need to login, which will put unusual stress on those endpoints.
Also, there is a small chance someone experiences malformed or missing data. There was only a single repo that we know experienced this, which we're already working on. So I'm only talking about unknown unknowns. So we will be on high alert to respond to any such requests and retrieve data from the archives in the previous infrastructure.
