About GitLab

GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that brings source code management, CI/CD, agile delivery and security into one application. Teams use it to host repositories, run pipelines, track work and scan for vulnerabilities across the software lifecycle. The vendor now emphasizes AI and agent-based workflows through its GitLab Duo Agent Platform.

Its platform pages group capabilities into execution and workflows, including CI/CD, source code management and agile delivery, and security and governance, including application security testing, governance and compliance, secrets management and supply chain security. Context and AI features add agentic orchestration and a context graph. Solutions target DevOps, security and AI modernization for enterprises, small businesses and startups.

GitLab can be used through the hosted service at gitlab.com and is also offered for organizations to run themselves. The vendor lists a free trial, a pricing page and cloud-specific offerings for AWS and Google Cloud. It also mentions an open-source community behind the project.
