GitLab is at the heart of a modern DevOps ecosystem - managing everything from Git repositories, issues and merge requests to CI/CD pipelines, code review, Container Registry, and security scanning in one platform. It is available as open source (Community Edition) for self-hosting or as a hosted service on GitLab.com with tiers from free to enterprise.
The core team primarily develops GitLab in Ruby with components in Go and JavaScript. Launched in 2011, GitLab has grown into a mature, AI-enhanced DevSecOps suite used by millions of developers and companies worldwide.
With GitLab you can host static sites via GitLab Pages, mirror GitHub repositories, and run CI/CD regardless of where the code lives. The platform is designed to scale - whether you’re a solo hobbyist or a global enterprise - offering an "everything in one place" feel with the freedom to self-host and a steadily growing ecosystem.
