📋 Decision Context

Question:

Which git hosting provider should we use for platform code storage?

Task: Choose git hosting provider for online platform deployment

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

GitLab (self-hosted or GitLab.com) instead of Gitea

Options Considered:

1. Gitea (self-hosted)
2. GitLab Premium
3. GitHub Enterprise

💭 Reasoning

1. GitLab Premium ($29/user/month) includes unlimited licensed users - better for multi-tenant SaaS. 2. Built-in CI/CD with 10,000 compute minutes/month eliminates need to build custom build pipeline. 3. Better enterprise features (SLA management, priority support). 4. Groups/Subgroups map well to tenant/space hierarchy. 5. Container and Package registries included. 6. Abstraction layer (GitProviderService interface) already in place makes switch easy.
