What Your Peers Are Saying About GitLab

Director of Information Security
Best Practices to create a SBOM with EOS/EOL Timeline to aid vulnerability remediation (currently use GitLab as our pipeline and Nexus repository).
Group Director of Information Security
It's a 5-step process which you will need to correlate for your environment. 1. Integrate dependency scanners (e.g., GitLab's built-in scanner, Trivy, Snyk, OWASP Dependency-Check or your existing Nexus repo) to flag outdated dependencies and use GitLab’s security dashboard to monitor deprecated packages. 2. Set up GitLab CI/CD rules to fail builds if EOL/EOS dependencies are detected and enforce allow/block lists for dependencies using GitLab’s security policies. 3. Configure GitLab to generate reports when a dependency is approaching its EOL and see if you can use GitLab’s webhook integrations to notify security teams via Slack, email, or Jira. 4. Implement dependency auto-updating tools (e.g., Renovate, Dependabot) to replace (identified & manually verified) EOL/EOS components. If no direct upgrade path exists, isolate the outdated component via containerization or sandboxing. 5. Maintain a historical record of all SBOMs and EOL/EOS alerts for compliance audits (ISO 27001, NIST, etc.). Regularly conduct security reviews using GitLab’s security reports.

What has been your experience utilizing GITLAB (not GITHUB) to implement CI/CD for Athena and AWS GLUE, specifically for a process to transfer changes in Athena Views from the development environment to production?
CTO
We have used gitlab CI CD pipelines using terraform for all AWS resources, not athena or glue specifically though.

    Efficient code management and project tracking with minor learning curve

    Jun 30, 2026
    I can say that my experience with GitLab has been very good. It is very convenient to use, and it allows us to organize all our activities in one place. It help us to do the code management, tracking, and automation of projects, thus saving time and facilitating our teamwork. It also assists our metric framework by allowing us to monitor important metrics and performance. The data integration functions allow us to easily integrate data from various sources. Benchmarking assistance allows us to compare results and monitor our progress over time. The access control options are very convenient to manage and allow us to grant appropriate access permissions to particular individuals. We also use it for survey collection and feedback, which helps us improve our processes.

GitLab Likes & Dislikes

Like

The greatest about GitLab is its consolidation under one platform where we do not have to change our tool every other moment. It is very convenient and allows us to manage the project, keep track of its progress, and collaborate as a team. The presence of the metric framework and benchmarking features facilitates the process of measuring our performance, and its data integration allows for proper management of the information. I also appreciate the access control features since they allow us to manage users' access permissions securely

- popularity and market share, there were few features that would persuade me to switch from a more popular VC and delivery platform to GitLab - maintenance and support is lacking - busy interface - some advanced features were not available to the use-case I investigated the tool for
