What is DevOps?

Slide explaining the concept of DevOpsGitLab

DevOps – an amalgamation of “development” and “operations” – is a method of working that unites people, processes and technology that enables formerly closed-off tech departments such as software development, IT operations and security to coordinate and collaborate to produce better products.

About GitLab

Launched in 2011, GitLab (GTLB) is an online repository for software that allows multiple team members to review and collaborate on coding projects which can be released as open-source software (where the original code can be openly inspected), or closed-source.

This slide introduces GitLab, the companyGitLab

Initially starting life as a place to store code online (known as a repository), GitLab broadened its offering into the entire software development lifecycle from code management to deployment, security and monitoring.

GitLab listed on the Nasdaq in late 2021. Its biggest competitor is GitHub, which was bought by Microsoft in 2018 for $7.5bn (£5.7bn, €6.8bn). Both GitLab and GitHub are DevOps platforms.

Gitlab Q1 earnings

For its fiscal first quarter ended 30 April, GitLab reported an adjusted loss of 18 cents per share on revenue that skyrocketed 75% to $87.4m.

Analysts had pencilled in a loss of 27 cents per share on revenue of $78.1m, according to according to figures widely available on financial news sites.

“GitLab’s stellar performance was driven by continued expansions in the installed base along with record new customer additions,” William Blair analyst Jason Ader wrote in a note obtained by Capital.com.

"Overall, we view GitLab as a generational winner in the DevOps space and see a long-tail growth opportunity as it helps customers streamline their tool sets (and spending) in this $40bn market" – William Blair analyst Jason Ader

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
