GitLab Benefits and Insights

Why use GitLab?

Key differentiators & advantages of GitLab

Data Security: GitLab supports secure collaboration at all stages of the development lifecycle, from planning to production. Built-in security features like Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Container Scanning and Dependency Scanning keep data safe throughout the whole toolchain, securing the source, build, dependencies and released artifacts. Gitlab also ensures compliance with licensing and regulatory frameworks.
Efficiency: Instead of juggling numerous tools and custom scripts, the consolidated toolchain and all-in-one platform allows teams to concentrate on producing and refining high-quality code. Automation capabilities reduce the workload by handling some code building, testing and deployment processes.
Better Collaboration: The platform scales parallel builds and merges trains, allowing multiple developers to collaborate across various projects in a single multi-project pipeline. Developers can easily access the remote development environment from their web browser.
Flexibility: Cloud-native technology employs various tools such as containers, Kubernetes, microservices, and immutable infrastructure to build applications that can scale and run efficiently in various settings. The unique properties of cloud computing provide agility, elasticity and scalability, expanding the possibilities of software development.
Reduced Errors: Users receive real-time feedback and can access tools to help manage any issues effectively, reduce their severity and frequency, and release software with confidence. Features like Incident Management, on-call schedule management, error tracking and a service desk make it easier for users to find support when they need it.

Industry Expertise

GitLab specializes in the information technology and computer and software industries. It’s generally used by small to medium-sized businesses.

Key Features

GitLab

Automated Testing: Every change made in the code triggers an automated pipeline to test various aspects, including the code, performance, load and security. It provides results in the merge request for developers to review before iterating and approving code in context.
Security Scans: Schedule automatic scans for vulnerabilities in source code, containers, dependencies and running applications. Users can also implement guardrail controls to secure production environments.
Planning Tools: Facilitate portfolio planning and management. Ensure that teams are working towards priorities and goals. Maintain complete transparency with the ability to identify and trace issues at all stages, from conception to deployment.
Remote Development Environment: Users can access a remote development environment through the Web IDE, using a live terminal to perform advanced development tasks directly from their web browser without requiring additional software installations.
Package Management: Manage containers, package applications and dependencies, and build artifacts effectively. A private and secure container and package registry is preconfigured and integrated with GitLab's source code management and CI/CD pipelines.
GitLab Continuous Integration and Delivery: Automate application release and delivery to accelerate production, streamline manual processes and shorten the delivery lifecycle. With built-in Continuous Delivery (CD) capabilities, the platform facilitates automated deployments to multiple environments, including staging and production, with no human intervention required. Further automation tools can produce builds, receive code feedback through review and run quality and security tests, generating release packages and expediting versioning.

Limitations

At the time of this review, these are the limitations according to user feedback:

The documentation of GitLab's Continuous Integration (CI) features needs to be improved.
GitLab’s UI is hard to use.
Features in the free version are limited.
