What is DevOps?
GitLabDevOps – 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.
GitLabInitially 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.
