    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.

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

        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.
