I'd say 5-6k users, and the number of repos is easily between there and 10k on the biggest Gitlab instance I've used. The CI/CD part works well, including for complex multi-project dynamic pipelines. We don't have crashes, ever.

The competition for me is the all-in-one solutions like Github and Bitbucket. If you have to deploy, maintain and sometimes pay for an extra CI/CD solution, either something is wrong or you have very very specific requirements. What is it that TeamCity does better than Gitlab CI/CD?
I was gonna write a long list of doleances but you know what, Ill give it a chance after all. We re still learning it, we ll figure it out I guess, and if it's cheaper, well, it s more money for shareholders.
But the thing I ll say is the git part is satisfactory. It's the CI part we are livid about.
