What you give up vs Linear
- No native CI/CD system; requires external integration
- JVM runtime adds memory overhead compared to Go-based alternatives
- Package/container registry is not built in
- Advanced project management views (kanban, roadmaps) require plugins
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host gitbucket on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Linear: per-user pricing and cloud-only data).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (Apache-2.0).
