Benefits
Complete DevOps Lifecyle
While other applications require numerous integrations for full lifecycle management of application development, GitLab does not. That is because the software has all the required tools and features built into its code and has ready-made support for third-party solutions and services. This enables developers to focus their efforts on creating apps, testing them, and pushing them to the web.
Source Code Access
GitLab is an open core application, which means that subscribers have unique access to the source code. This lets them modify the software as they wish and mold it to suit their varying needs. And because of its open core attribute, GitLab has a wide community of developers who make it possible for the software to release new features every month.
Broad Range of Deployment Options
GitLab offers a host of methods for deploying the application. These give users a wide range of choices so they can pick one that is most suitable for them or one that they prefer most. Moreover, GitLab supports a number of configuration management software for simple implementation like Puppet, Chef, and Ansible.
Serve Widespread App Usage
GitLab has been tested to scale to meet the needs of more than a million users on GitLab.com. This means that subscribers can also look forward to the same scalability when it comes to their own websites and applications once they have deployed, for their users to have an enjoyable and smooth experience. The solution enables this through database load balancing for PostgreSQL, subgrouping, object storage for artifacts, and other scalability processes.
Built-In Compliance Tools
GitLab helps users make sure they comply with legal and licensing requirements as well as amenability with industry standards. One of the many ways it does this is by allowing administrators to assign roles and restrict access permissions of members so they can make certain only authorized users can view, retrieve, and edit sensitive data.
Confident Software Use
Codes and any other information stored in GitLab are rigorously protected. Administrators can further secure assets by deploying Kerberos user authentication and blocking the push of secret or confidential files to a live or public repository through specialized push rules.
Responsive Support
GitLab offers differing support services to its subscriber base. But one thing they can be sure of is the prompt response from a representative through their initial contact channel. Those who signed up for the Premium and Ultimate packages are especially looked out for, as they have access to an all-around emergency support and live upgrade assistance services.
