I'm still getting 20-second load times for individual pages (e.g. tickets) on gitlab.haskell.org. Sometimes they errror out with "something went wrong, try again". Are we stuck with what to do? It's a bit frustrating. Simon On Mon, 20 Apr 2026 at 14:15, Andreas Klebinger via ghc-devs < ghc-devs@haskell.org> wrote:
Hello Devs,
just a short update and some background about Gitlab issues today.
Over the week and in particular today the number of requests to our GitLab instance has grown steadily, it now receiving way more than doubled the number of requests it received last week.
We have tried to solve this by adjusting some GitLab/server settings to deal with this (rate limits, checking for spammy IPs, the works) but with little success so far since it seems that the requests are pretty distributed across their origins.
Given it's not garbage requests but for valid endpoints we assume it's "just" crawlers (likely driven by the AI hype) indexing our instance. But while this isn't a DoS attack in it's totality the effect similar and it's unclear when we will make progress on improving the situation.
Magnus is working towards resolving this issue and we will let you know.
Cheers Andreas

Hello GHC devs,
we're seeing a lot of 502s at the moment, we're getting twice the rate of requests than normal, I am investigating what is going on and trying to fix this.
Best
Magnus
