We made a PoC on top of Solid which does work so it is clearly possible, but the code quality is too low to trust the solution.
long past time. what’s taking people so long
besides the fact that there’s no decent alternative for workloads of a certain size/scale?
Which almost nobody needs?
What is missing from GitLab?
