I’ve been using the JetBrains Space for last two years for my work projects. Space - it’s like a GitLab, all in one platform for IT companies.

What I like about it: responsive web interface, super convenient web-based code review (hello to sluggish GitLab 👋), great mobile app, and awesome Code Review integration in PhpStorm (although I hear GitHub and GitLab's Code Review integrations are cool too, haven't compared them myself).

Downsides: the built-in issue tracker is basic (not enough features, looks weak, missing a lot), and the CI/CD pipelines were a pain to deal with. There's not much info online, the documentation is dry, and even ChatGPT doesn't know much about it.

Just read on their blog: "we have decided to discontinue Space as it stands now and pivot it to a new product that will focus primarily on Git hosting and code reviews."

Turns out, the features that I thought were well-designed and implemented in Space are staying as part of SpaceCode, while everything else is being discontinued. It makes sense, but it's still a bummer that JetBrains couldn't create an awesome all-in-one cloud-based development platform 😢

Fun fact: JetBrains already had a product focused on Code Review called Upsource, but they shut it down two years ago.
