Oh, neat, DataDog. So if you add a new label to a repo your monthly bill would rocket to the moon.

Typical that the title does mention Google (who currently has a minority stake) but not Datadog, who would become the new owner.
But yeah, I don’t foresee a new owner making things better for gitlab.

I feel this so much. We evaluated them at work, and while they did pretty much exactly what we wanted, we weren’t willing to pay their fees.

I don’t know, seems like being owned by Google would be worse. They kill stuff left and right.

But they have been partially owned by Google for the past time, and the product has been great.
Google’s involvement is only going to lessen, so the only reason to put so much emphasis on that in the headline would be to get those rage clicks.

Partially owned gives room for the product to stay alive. It being fully owned by Google makes it subject to being killed.

I guess responses like yours is the reason the headline didn’t mention the actual party gitlab it’s in talks with. People just love to have their villain.
