GitLab

GitLab is an intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, bringing planning, coding, security and deployment together in a single system so that teams and their AI agents can ship secure software faster. Founded in 2011, the company offers the GitLab Platform as a replacement for fragmented toolchains, covering the full software development lifecycle, including source code management, CI/CD and deployment automation, application security, and project planning.

The scale is considerable. GitLab serves more than 50 million users and over half of the Fortune 100. The company employs more than 2,500 people across over 65 countries and operates as an all-remote organisation, a model it has used to build software at scale with a distributed workforce. Its customers span software and technology, enterprise software, defence and aerospace, manufacturing and industrial, and semiconductors and AI.

GitLab is built on an open core model: the open source project at its centre has attracted more than 5,000 contributors and has shipped over 170 consecutive monthly releases. Technical work centres on DevSecOps, software lifecycle orchestration, AI agents for software delivery, application security, and automation of build and deployment. The company describes its mission as enabling everyone to contribute to and co-create software.
