“The definitive all-in-one DevOps platform that successfully unified our Dev and Ops workflows.”
GitLab has completely unified our development lifecycle. Previously, we jumped between different tools for repositories and CI/CD. Now, having source code management, pipelines, and container registry in one place has drastically improved the velocity of our team. It is a solid platform, updated very frequently, with excellent documentation. Central hub for our daily engineering work.

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
See Full DiscussionIt'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scanners (e.g., GitLab's built-in scanner, Trivy, Snyk, OWASP Dependency-Check or your existing Nexus repo) to flag outdated dependencies and use GitLab’s security dashboard to monitor deprecated packages.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 If no direct upgrade path exists, isolate the outdated component via containerization or sandboxing.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
See Full DiscussionWe have used gitlab CI CD pipelines using terraform for all AWS resources, not athena or glue specifically though.

Unified Source Control Offers Efficiency While GitLab Users Face Overwhelming Alerts
We initially adopted GitLab as a DevSecOps platform to consolidate our source control, CI/CD pipelines, and security scanning into a single system. In practice, GitLab provided strong value by centralizing the diaspora of these disciplines, however, it required us to accept the platform’s opinions around how DevSecOps should work. When aligned with that view, it is powerful; when it's not, there is friction. - SOFTWARE DEVELOPER<50M USDIT ServicesReview Source

Self-Hosted Runners Offer Control but Increase Resource Consumption in GitLab Pipelines
Our team uses gitlab as part of a self-service platform where uses can deploy their own repos. It has been a solid choice for our devops workflows. CI CD pipelines integrate well with our infrastructure in the cloud and self-hosted runners allow us to control and add more security and compliance for the users.
