It depends how high you value your headaches, and how high, your org's downtime. Github not working accrues over the hourly rate of every developer affected, which is likely $70-$100 a hour. 10 hours of outage in a year affecting a team of 10 would cost north of $70k, enough to hire a part-time SRE dedicated just to tend to your Gitlab installation.




>10 hours of outage in a year affecting a team of 10 would cost north of $70k

10 hours x 10 developers x $70 per hour = $7000, not $70000.


Thank you for the correction! This indeed completely changes the picture :-\
