UptimeTea

Is GitLab down right now?

Checking GitLab…

Reading the latest checks from UptimeTea monitors…

GitLab.com hosts code, merge requests and CI/CD pipelines for teams that ship from one platform. When it is down, reviews and deploys stop.

What we are checking

These are real UptimeTea monitors, not a scrape of GitLab's own status page. Each is requested every minute from several locations, and a failure is re-verified from an independent location before it counts.

Checking…

GitLab.com

The GitLab.com app: repositories, merge requests, issues and pipelines.

Checking…

GitLab website

about.gitlab.com, GitLab's public site and documentation entry point.

Second opinion: GitLab's official status page. Vendors update it after they confirm an incident, which is usually minutes after it starts.

What to do when GitLab is down

  1. 1

    Keep committing locally

    Git is distributed. Commit as usual and push when GitLab.com is back. Nothing is lost while the remote is unreachable.

  2. 2

    Do not retry pipelines blindly

    If shared runners are degraded, new jobs may queue for a long time. Check the official status page for the affected component before re-running.

  3. 3

    Check whether it is self-managed

    These monitors cover GitLab.com only. If your company runs its own GitLab instance, an outage there is your infrastructure, not GitLab's.

Frequently asked questions

How do you know if GitLab is down?
UptimeTea monitors load gitlab.com and about.gitlab.com every minute from several locations. A failed check is re-verified from an independent location before it counts.
GitLab loads but my pipeline is stuck. Is it down?
Possibly a CI runner incident, which the official status page lists separately from the website. If only your project is stuck, check runner tags and quotas.
Does a GitLab.com outage affect self-managed GitLab?
No. Self-managed instances run on your own servers. They are only affected if they depend on GitLab.com services such as the container registry or license checks.
Can I get an alert when my self-hosted GitLab goes down?
Yes. Add its URL as a monitor in UptimeTea and you get an email, SMS or call the moment it fails. The free plan includes 50 monitors.
