GitLab
GitLab is a DevSecOps platform combining source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and project management in a single self-hostable application.
What is GitLab?
Is GitLab down? GitLab is an open-core DevSecOps platform providing source code management, CI/CD pipelines, security scanning, project management, and container registry under one roof. Founded in 2011, GitLab started as a self-hosted Git repository manager and has evolved into a comprehensive DevOps platform used by over 30 million registered users and thousands of organizations including major enterprises and government agencies.
GitLab's all-in-one approach means teams manage their entire software development lifecycle — from planning to deployment — within a single platform. GitLab.com, the SaaS offering, hosts millions of repositories and runs millions of CI pipeline jobs daily. When GitLab experiences an outage, affected teams lose access not just to code but also to their CI pipelines, merge request workflows, issue trackers, and deployment automation simultaneously.
GitLab is down or not working — users commonly report repository access failures (git push/pull errors), CI/CD pipelines stuck in pending state, the web interface returning 500 errors, or container registry pulls failing. Self-hosted GitLab instances are separate but can be affected by licensing server connectivity issues.
Outage.gg monitors GitLab.com service status through community reports. If GitLab is down or your pipelines are stuck, check the live status page to see whether others are affected and receive a notification when service is restored.
