What happens when GitLab goes down?

CI/CD pipeline failures

GitLab CI/CD runners may fail to pick up jobs, pipelines may queue indefinitely, or jobs may fail with infrastructure errors during outages.

Git push and pull errors

Repository operations like git push, pull, and clone may fail with SSH or HTTPS errors when GitLab Git servers are degraded.

Merge request loading failures

Merge requests may fail to load, show blank pages, or not display diff data during backend service disruptions.

Container registry errors

Docker image pushes and pulls from the GitLab Container Registry may fail with authentication or connectivity errors during outages.

How do I troubleshoot GitLab issues?

1
Check the GitLab status page
Visit status.gitlab.com to see component-level status. CI/CD runners and repository services have separate health indicators.
2
Retry failed pipeline jobs
GitLab CI/CD jobs that fail due to infrastructure issues can be retried from the pipeline view without code changes.
3
Test SSH vs HTTPS for Git operations
If SSH pushes fail, try switching to HTTPS (or vice versa) — one protocol often works during partial outages.
4
Check runner registration and tags
If using self-managed runners, verify they are registered and healthy. Cloud-hosted runner issues affect only shared runners.
5
Use GitLab API to check project health
The GitLab REST API can sometimes return responses even when the web UI is degraded, useful for automated health checks.

What can I do during a GitLab outage?

Mirror repositories to GitHub

GitLab supports push mirroring to GitHub. During extended outages, your code remains accessible on the GitHub mirror.

Run CI/CD locally

Use gitlab-runner to execute pipelines locally during outages: `gitlab-runner exec docker <job-name>`

Use self-managed GitLab instance

Organizations with self-managed GitLab instances are unaffected by GitLab.com outages — consider this for critical workloads.

Monitor recovery via API Status Check

Set up alerts to get notified the moment GitLab services recover from an outage.

Frequently asked questions about GitLab status

Is GitLab down right now?

Check status.gitlab.com and API Status Check for independent monitoring. GitLab provides component-level status so you can see exactly which services are affected.

Why are my GitLab CI/CD pipelines failing?

Pipeline failures can be caused by GitLab runner outages, code errors, or infrastructure issues. Check status.gitlab.com first, then review your pipeline logs for specific error messages.

Why can't I push to my GitLab repository?

Git push failures during outages usually show as SSH timeouts or HTTPS 503 errors. Try switching between SSH and HTTPS, or wait for the incident to resolve.

Is the GitLab Container Registry down?

The Container Registry has a separate health indicator on status.gitlab.com. Registry outages affect docker push/pull operations independently of repo access.

Does a GitLab.com outage affect self-managed instances?

No. Self-managed GitLab instances run on your own infrastructure and are not affected by GitLab.com outages. Only shared services like license validation may be impacted.
