GitLab

We use GitLab mainly for code hosting, CI/CD, and issue tracking. It helps us in keeping development organised, automating deployments, and making collaboration easy. Our scope is pretty standard: managing source code, running tests, deploying services, and tracking bugs/features all in one place. We also use it for a few non-technology projects (but for people who are in close collaboration with the engineering team).

• ROI is just create, it can't be better

It addresses repository and CI/CD pipelines and allows you to use your own agents. Because of all its integrations, it’s very good for managing an organization with different projects. It also has great features for controlling an organization, and it has security features like MFA and a built-in key vault. It can be integrated with other products like Vault and Terraform.

• It was great for product collaboration.
• Very easy to use.
• Loved the pipelines.
• I loved the integration potential.

GitLab is our CI/CD platform of choice, which we use to manage our code, product builds and deployments in an automated way. It's very powerful and it allows us to define custom pipelines in YAML files that we can put under version control in the platform itself. It supports every Git functionality that any company, big or small, would need to store code, environment variables, review merge requests, resolve merge conflicts and handle merges from multiple users. In summary, it's a very powerful all-in-one platform.

• Deliver functionality to clients faster
• Makes it easier to deploy fixes and rollback to previous versions
• Enables collaboration between engineers in code reviews

My organization is using git for the source code management like pull, push, merge request and changes history. We are also using GitLab to track the issues and resolutions. Its also provide some linking with the other issues tracking tools like MantisBt, Jira, Trello etc. It has options to connect with jenkin and other build creation tools, That helps allot at the time of QA and UAT.

• Its impact positively on our business because before using the gitlab we did some harmfull codes live without review. But now we are reviewing our codes with the help of GitLab.
• Issues are resolving in the proper time period.
• Productivity increased becasue of the proper development steps.

As a budding software developer, I am part of many teams to learn different software flows and delivery parameters. I came across GitLab through one of my colleague, who works with C# plugins and was facing issues with standardizing delivery parameters for executables. He was able to integrate CI/CD pipelines very conveniently using GitLab.

• Developer friendly tool
• Helps with efficient issue tracking
• Good with large code bases
