Hi John--thanks for sharing these links. I do wonder if there is a fundamental difference between applications and infrastructure. Maybe it's the fact that applications tend to involve a greater share of non-engineering users (and therefore a greater reliance on someone else to host and manage the service)? Food for thought. GitLab is a great company, and I've read a lot of your strategy documents; it's a wonder you publish so much in the open, and I'm grateful for it.

Thanks! That is great to hear.

We detail the differences between infrastructure and applications in link #2 in my previous comment. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve that section, I'd encourage you to create a MR to update the page. Just click the "Edit in Web IDE" link at the bottom to get started. :)
