We are building a fast, stable, GitHub alternative.

We have hired 3 times as many people in our security team for GitLab.com (not our product team for security) as are working on Meltano.

We have hired 3 times as many people in our SRE teams as are working on Meltano.

And we still have a lot of vacancies for both https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/

I meant no offense. But you’re also dabbling in building your own k8s distro / platform, you have your own CI/CD , Jira storyboard , and data science stuff, etc.

My point is that you’re aiming a lot broader than Github ever did - you are competing more as a suite than as a focused product.

And I’ve seen personally this impact the support side with customers, partnership side, etc. I help maintain a medium-large Gitlab for one of your bigger customers. Anyway this isn’t the place for me to get specific, I am just saying that you are taking a risky path in terms of sustainability IMO as a rando on the internet.
