As a product, Gitlab's great: it's got project lifecycle management, issue tracking, wiki support and even a container registry baked straight into it. However, it's indexability is basically non existent - even if you have projects marked as public, significant parts of pages are fetched by javascript, so a crawler can't index things like issue references (no, I'm not kidding) unless they execute javascript.
