130 GitLab Testimonials

“By switching to GitLab and automating deployment, teams have moved from monthly or weekly deliveries to daily or multiple daily deliveries.”

“When someone makes a commit on a CoreDNS repo and they want to do a deployment, we need to be able to pin a specific environment with exactly which type of cluster CoreDNS is going to be deployed to. The environment specific variables allows us to go out and do that.”

“Without GitLab, we'd be wasting engineering time with lots of individual little servers being managed around the world. We would probably have a lot more headaches and still be suffering with scalability problems.”

“CD has at least 10 times better success rate than manual deploy. We have projects in which automatic deployment has never failed.”

“Going into full automated DevOps is key for a software group like ours. Our Gitlab instance is the cornerstone of what we call the digital enablement platform internally, which is really the mean to enable our team to do cloud native development in a full automated DevOps mode.”

“Within a year, we never had a case of not meeting a deadline because we had to spend time working on the CI pipeline or something related to the tooling. That has never been the case.”

“One tool just makes life easier. It's just less stuff to manage. When you use too many tools you end up having one thing over here and other items over there. This leads to struggles around keeping tasks together and keeping everything up to date.”

“We did an extensive analysis of multiple tools as we considered a solution that would fit all the requirements of an organization as big as GNOME. We had a set of hard requirements, with the most important one being that it must be free software, ideally not only in license but also in spirit.”

"We applaud GitLab for dropping their CLA in favor of a more OSS-friendly approach. Open source communities are born from a sea of contributions that come together and transform into projects. This gesture affirmed GitLab's willingness to protect the individual, their creative process, and most importantly, keeps intellectual property in the hands of the creator."

"We have a very strong scientific background, and we love to make experiments all the time! Exploring new ideas, and striving for impeccable execution are embedded in our engineering way of thinking. You need innovative and ambitious partners to achieve equally innovative and ambitious goals. This is why we do what we do, and why we firmly believe GitLab's vision and spirit strongly align with our own. This is how we chose to go with them."

“GitLab has really helped us because we can work with a lot of people on projects, maintain the quality, make sure that everybody checks each other's work, and then deploy it on an infrastructure that doesn't bear any surprises because it just follows through the continuous deployment. It just follows wherever the project is going.”

“GitLab has become our central place to store code and issues. It's become a mission critical system for our organization.”

“GitLab is a modern tool with a consolidated view of the toolchain and it provides us with that desired platform for a coherent implementation.”

“With GitLab, I can produce research and show people in the office. They suggest changes to the research and I can make those changes without having to worry about version control and saving my work. One repository makes it so that I can focus more on the actual work and less on the mechanics of working.”

“Now all of those groups use GitLab for all of their projects. We expect them to have all their code available there. That gives us lots of advantages over what we had previously."
