Overall Satisfaction with GitLab
Primary use for GitLab is of course source/version control, allowing collaboration on projects such as writing code. But GitLab does much more than that from organizing certain projects allowing the developers to track the issues/goals and the time it takes to achieve them. To easy of continues integration and continues deployment, with easy compared to other solutions.
Pros
- CI/CD
- K8 Integration
- SSO
Cons
- Regular UI changes
- Resource heavy
- CI Token scoping (can't push to repo in CI without creating a token manually)
- Eased CI/CD integration
- Easy version control for even non technical colleges
- Simple time tracking per task
GitLab provides a far superior platform due to it's great integration and CI/CD focus. And while in the beginning the UI might look a bit overwhelming with use you will find it way more useful than it's competitors. The variables and settings also make way more sense and it's simple to setup and use after you use it for a short time.
The continuous integration of GitLab allows us easily run Linting, Tests and Building of various images such as container images which are even used in the tests or specifically selected environments to ensure compliance and stability of our repositories before being deployed to the final production stage.
