Forgejo is leading the federated git initiative
Just to give credit where credit is due, git federation is a Forgefed Initiative
Forgejo is implementing it in their platform.
Sure, they are the same people
Any evidence of that? Genuinely curious as I can't really find anything about them being by the same people and forgefed started as mailed-based prior to forgejo existing.
edit: seems like they are funded by different organizations and the main contributors to forgefed never worked on forgejo, they worked on vervis though.
I’m aware this is the selfhost community, but for a company of 20 engineers, it is probably best to use something commercial in the cloud.
Biggest pain point was for our ops guy, who constantly had to stay behind to perform upgrades and maintenance, as they couldn’t do it during business hours when the engineers are working. With a team of at least 20, scheduling downtimes could get increasingly more difficult.
It also adds an entire system to be audited by the auditors.
The selfhost vs buy commercial kind of bounces back and forth. For smaller teams, less than 5 to 10 engineers, it might be a fun endeavour; but from that point on, until you get to mega corp scale with dedicated ops department maintaining your entire infrastructure, it is probably more effective to just pay for a solution from a major vendor in the cloud instead.
Git should be able to go down during the day. Worst case you just can't push to origin for a little while. You can still work and commit locally.
