About GitLab

GitLab is a DevOps platform combining Git hosting, CI/CD, container registry, issue tracking, merge requests, security scanning, and infrastructure-as-code. The gitlab.com SaaS (the hosted tier) and self-managed GitLab (on-premises) have different incident surfaces; this status page covers gitlab.com. Outages typically affect Git operations (push/pull fail), CI/CD (pipelines queue up or fail), the container registry (image pulls fail), the web UI, or webhook deliveries (affecting Slack notifications and custom integrations). GitLab customers often run CI-heavy workflows, so pipeline-queue outages during release cycles are particularly painful.

The official GitLab status page is at status.gitlab.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or even hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.

Where is the official GitLab status page?+

Why do my GitLab CI pipelines queue but never run?+

GitLab CI pipelines wait for a runner to pick them up. An incident on the SaaS runner fleet (Linux, Windows, macOS) leaves pipelines waiting indefinitely. Self-hosted runners continue to work during SaaS runner outages. Check if your project uses shared or self-hosted runners.

Does a GitLab outage affect my self-hosted GitLab?+

No. gitlab.com (the SaaS tier) and self-managed GitLab instances are completely separate. An outage on gitlab.com does not affect your on-premises GitLab server, though package registry traffic to gitlab.com (e.g. fetching official Docker images) could be affected.
