Github --> Gitlab --> ?
It's a shame, especially as there is a vocal group within the FLOSS ecosystem that have a visceral hatred of anything to do with Microsoft and have been migrating (and campaigning to migrate) projects off GitHub to somewhere not tainted by Microsoft. I don't know what the next best choice from that point of view is.
As pointed out by other commentators in this thread, once you move things into 'the cloud' (i.e. using other people's services on other people's computers), you have a tendency to lose control over your fate. Sometimes, it can be the right decision: the services available to small businesses can seem almost magical when compared to trying to do the same yourself - but if your business is dependant on somebody else's profit margin, you are in a vulnerable position.
It is an MBA's dream to lock in customers so that they find it very difficult to move elsewhere. A lot of services are deliberately designed to do just that: once the transition costs of moving get significantly painful, people choose the lesser pain of staying and enduring 'reasonable' price increases.
