2018: GitLab's year in review

In 2018, GitLab experienced significant growth and success, adding 289 new team members, securing a new round of funding, and surpassing 2,000 contributors, while also making their GitLab Gold and Ultimate versions free for educational institutions and open-source projects. The company expanded its product offerings by launching GitLab Serverless and Meltano, migrated to Google Cloud Platform, and celebrated 12 product releases. The year also saw notable migrations of major open-source projects such as GNOME, Drupal, and Freedesktop.org to GitLab, contributing to a tenfold increase in daily repository movements to the platform. GitLab's achievements were recognized with a $100 million Series D funding round, inclusion in the Inc. 5000 list as the 44th fastest-growing company, and a 17th place ranking on Y Combinator's Top Companies list. The company engaged with its community through events like the GitLab Summit in Cape Town, and by celebrating the 20th anniversary of open source, while also introducing new integrations with platforms such as Xcode 10 and Google Kubernetes Engine.
