Summary

GitLab is focusing on making DevOps accessible to teams of all sizes by moving features to their free product, resulting in significant user growth, with nearly 30 million registered users and almost 6 million on the GitLab.com free tier. However, the cost of supporting this growth has increased, prompting GitLab to adjust the CI/CD minute usage limits for their free tier. Effective October 1, 2020, the free tier will be limited to 400 CI/CD minutes per month per top-level group or personal namespace, aligning usage with tier prices while maintaining the free offering. Users exceeding this limit can purchase additional minutes or upgrade to a paid tier, and options like bringing personal runners are available to manage usage. The CI/CD minute limits remain unchanged for GitLab's Open Source, Education, and Startups programs, which continue to offer Gold tier capabilities and 50,000 minutes per month. GitLab encourages users to refer to their customer FAQ and Community Forum for more information and support regarding these changes.
