it is a fully operational battle station once again :)

Thank you for your feedback. I will add your suggestions to our document!

We will be implementing new policies on backups and you can totally expect us doing load tests in the future. The whole team wants to make sure this will not happen again.

And we're sorry for the inconvenience this caused to your workflow today!

I deployed my code before the backup issue. So, no worries.

Is a really good idea, and is one of the improvements that are likely to be put in place as soon as possible. Its already listed on the document.

Thanks for the 'fantastic'!. We’re always trying to enable our users to integrate with more services/tools. I would love to have your input on this specific topic at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support-forum/issues/695
