They charge for a premium plan, as per the article. We pay for a premium plan at our company.

From a few years ago? We have used managed ES for a while now and see no issues however I realise its different for everyone.

AFAIK with Fargate a lot of this is handled for you, as long as you have the auto scaling group.

We have this setup with two capacity providers (FARGATE_SPOT and FARGATE) with a 75/25% split, meaning that even if there are no spot instances available we will still be up.

The benefit of Fargate being that we don't need to care if certain instance sizes are not available as that is handled by AWS.

All of which you get with Gitlab plus a first class CI/CD system out of the box and a more popular (read familiar) interface which reduces the friction for new developers to get started with KDE.

We perform manual testing and qualification on feature branches (but deployed to a qa or staging environment).

The thing that really helped us was separating the idea of environments and branches.

Easyjet have been a main airline within the UK for many many years. They may be struggling because of the current environment but this isn't a small operation who wouldn't have a security team.

Looks nice! We have been looking at improving our sprint planning process and going to try this out today (instead of our typical spreadsheet!)

We don't see that and use Meet (via GSuite) to have external calls with people and have never heard that that require a Google account.

So given a web server, what language can 'come close' to the ease of deploying with PHP?

Is it common to be releasing breaking API schema changes 6 times a day?

Supported until September 2020, I don't think they need to be changed now.

You don't think you get enough value out of Gitlab to justify the seat price? Based on the fact it seems to power all (or majority) of your development process it seems like it would be worth it?

Err, that is what they offer, banking via an app. If that is a problem for you, maybe you aren't their ideal customer.
