Gerrit code review
-
Gerrit Code Review is an excellent Free/Open Source alternative to GitHub and GitLab as a platform for code review.
It is perhaps not as well known as those, but it is heavily used by some of the world's biggest Open Source software projects (e.g. Android, Chromium, OpenDev including OpenStack), and by some of the world's biggest tech companies, including Google (who maintain Gerrit and invest heavily in it), SAP, Ericsson, Qualcomm, and others.
Here is an unfinished comparison I did based on many years of experience with all three tools. I find Gerrit's code review model significantly better in several aspects, and in particular that the pull request / merge request approach of allowing multiple commits per review allows and encourages many bad practices which Gerrit prevents.
So I think it would be great if Elestio made it easy to deploy Gerrit!
Please note that the Gerrit project already provides a collection of AWS CloudFormation templates and scripts to deploy Gerrit in AWS. So hopefully this should make it easy for Elestio to add Gerrit to the menu.
