In fact, yes. Not exactly for git itself, but for Gitlab, which does the git hosting for us.

GitLab LFS storage is mad expensive. I regret buying into it... We have an unreal engine project and the assets cross over 20GB, not raw assets mind you. I've self hosted perforce before and should have stuck with that

What are you switching to, if you don't mind me asking?

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I'm not OOP, we will continue using Gitlab for the foreseeable future. Our company recently switched from self-hosted to cloud hosted by Gitlab.

Why, though?

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Because Cloud is cool or something. You know, now that the US is beconing more and more unreliable and untrustworthy, it's exactly the right time for a large European corporation that provides critical services to move over to an US product hosted on US servers outside of our control.
