"We have two big things thanks to GitLab. First, on the management and company side, we really had some nice economic results with GitLab. And on the development side and operational side, GitLab facilitates the team to really help bring the agile mindset to the company."
“We renewed the complete process. We didn't just take what was in Jenkins and move to GitLab, we redid everything. We took all of the findings we had from Jenkins, which wasn’t good, and we took what was good and we set it up completely new. We reinvented the wheel, just to make it better.”
“Everybody wants to work with exciting new technologies, but clients want working applications delivered on time."
“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."
“GitLab is helping us catch security flaws early and it's integrated into the developer's flow. An engineer can push code to GitLab CI, get that immediate feedback from one of many cascading audit steps and see if there's a security vulnerability built in there, and even build their own new step that might test a very specific security issue.”
“If a certain feature is not available, the ability to have a discussion with GitLab in the open and to put it on a road map so we can tell a customer that you can start using the existing platform and the features and functionality and within three months we will offer this specific feature to acknowledge your need. There is no other single product in the industry that does that.”
“GitLab allows us to have a common tool between Dev and Ops. DevOps is really a mentality, and you really try to put it in place within the company, so that people fit into that culture. GitLab really allows it because it’s a common solution between these two teams, which we didn’t have before. It really simplified the workflow at that level.”
“One of the major benefits of GitLab is the ability to keep the whole development workflow in a single tool.”
“When we were using Codebase, we had to write basically git commit hooks and various scripts to keep everything updated. We couldn’t always store the code in Codebase for various client reasons. And so we had all kinds of glues and stuff to keep things working together."
“I haven't seen any platform where it's as easy to use CI for automating everything as it is in GitLab.”
“Because of CI/CD, development and operations teams have a framework of co-operation. This is probably the highest value GitLab has introduced in our teams.”
“GitLab is the backbone of our deployments; from data analytics to IoT distributed platforms, we rely on GitLab to rapidly create complex solutions."
“We really try to bring the open source culture in, and so far, we really succeeded. With CI/CD, we have one and a half million builds every month. The whole culture has completely changed.”
“Since the beginning, we were talking about all our ideas and to have our roadmap visible for all the people within the company. You have to walk the talk, that’s key. Of course, focus on your customers: for developers, from developers."
“The large success is having been able to onboard code and software projects from many different organizations and with very different tools and technology into one single platform, easily. It was not a pain, and now we got it all under control. So that's brilliant.”
