GitLab is up right now. Visual Sentinel watches your own site the same way and alerts you when a check fails or the page looks broken. Add your address and we'll run its first check while you sign up.
This checks the response from gitlab.com. It does not test playback, login or every GitLab feature.

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 available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours.
outage patterns
How GitLab outages affect production workloads
Developer-platform outages have outsized impact because they cascade. When GitLab is degraded, every customer's build pipeline, deploy hook, or webhook delivery can stall, and the failure mode often looks like a customer problem before engineers realize the dependency is the cause. CI runs hang, status checks never report, and queued jobs pile up silently.
The live check above provides independent public-endpoint evidence from EU and US, including status and response timing. That helps separate a broad reachability problem from a local client issue, but it does not execute your private API call, build, webhook, or deploy. Test the exact dependency path before attributing the incident to GitLab.
Common signs GitLab is having issues
- API rate limits returning earlier than the documented thresholds
- Webhook deliveries showing 5xx errors or unusual latency tail
- Deploy or build hooks accepted by GitLab but never firing downstream
- OAuth or token endpoints failing intermittently for the same client credentials
What to do when GitLab is degraded
When GitLab is having trouble, the fastest mitigation is usually feature-flagging the dependency off if your application can degrade gracefully. Check the multi-region results on this page first; if both regions report healthy but your application still sees failures, the issue is likely your network path or DNS, not GitLab itself.

why independent monitoring
Provider status references
and endpoint checks answer different questions.
Independent endpoint evidence
The regional check can show that a public endpoint is failing before or after a provider posts broader incident context. It does not validate every product subsystem.
Scheduled alerts
Monitor GitLab on your plan interval and route confirmed endpoint failures through the notification channels available to your workspace.
Multi-region verification
EU and US results can reveal a regional difference in public-endpoint reachability. Confirm the exact workflow and provider region you use.
Historical data
Track GitLab uptime over time. See trends, identify recurring issues, and make informed decisions about your dependency.
Frequently asked questions
Is GitLab down right now?
See the latest check of gitlab.com and its timestamp at the top of this page. If GitLab is down, you can also check the official status page for extra context.
How do I check if GitLab is having issues?
This page checks the public GitLab endpoint from EU and US. You can also monitor that endpoint on a schedule and receive confirmed-failure alerts through the channels available on your plan. Test the exact provider feature you use for a complete diagnosis.
How can I get alerted when GitLab goes down?
Add gitlab.com to Visual Sentinel and its first check is free. To keep monitoring, start a 7-day trial (card required) or subscribe now: Solo and Starter check every 5 minutes, Business and Agency every 60 seconds, with email, push and chat alerts.
Where can I find GitLab outage context?
The official GitLab status page is available as a reference. Official pages are useful, but they can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Visual Sentinel checks the public GitLab endpoint independently from EU and US. Paid Business and Agency plans support 60-second uptime checks.
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.

Development tools depend on each other. A failing build or editor plugin is not always the tool you opened.
