GitLab

GitLab is a comprehensive platform for managing software development that covers all stages of the application lifecycle, from planning to monitoring. It combines the functions of a source code repository, CI/CD process automation, project management, and security.

The main advantage of GitLab is that all work on a project is concentrated in one place. Developers can write code, comment on changes, automatically check its quality, and immediately compile finished applications. This speeds up the process of releasing new versions of the product.

For businesses, GitLab means increased process transparency: you can see who made changes and when, what tasks are being performed, and which versions have been tested. This helps avoid mistakes, reduce release times, and respond more quickly to market changes.

The platform supports flexible access rights, integration with many third-party services, test automation, and code quality control. GitLab is easily scalable and can run both in the cloud and on the company's own servers.

A distinctive feature of GitLab is its open architecture: companies can customize it for their processes, connect plugins, or further automate their infrastructure.
