Overall Satisfaction with GitLab
Our organization has grown large enough such that managing individual projects is a bit of a pain. We try to delegate to our dev teams as much as possible. Moving to something like GitLab, which is an essential infrastructure as code, has allowed us to speed up development. Their pipelines are really useful, though they can be a bit wonky with some keywords not playing nice with each other. It is really valuable to work with any arbitrary docker image, or even create your own.
- Pipelines
- Container Registry
- Git Repository
- Some keywords don't play nice with eachother and can conflict
- YAML parsing can be a bit picky
- Shorter cycle time
- Reduced tech debt
Using GitLab, we do scan our jars, images, and code for CVEs. It works well enough.
Shared repos, especially using triggers, works well. It also keeps individual project YAML files well isolated.
