23% Cost savings and 36% performance gain by deploying GitLab on Arm-based AWS Graviton2

Companies are increasingly investing in digital transformation and enhancing their software development capabilities, with GitLab offering a complete DevOps platform for modern needs. Many organizations choose self-managed GitLab and GitLab Runners, incurring additional costs for infrastructure. Recent cost analysis and performance benchmarks show that deploying GitLab on Arm-based Graviton2 instances can result in up to 23% cost savings and 36% performance improvements compared to x86-based EC2 instances. Arm, a leader in silicon IP for SoC, has collaborated with GitLab to optimize tools for Arm architecture, and AWS is the first major cloud provider to offer Arm-based EC2 instances. The GitLab 10,000 reference architecture provides a framework for hosting GitLab on both Arm64 and x86 environments, with significant cost and performance advantages on Arm64. Performance tests using GitLab's tools indicate substantial gains in CI/CD job execution on Arm-based instances, making it an attractive option for GitLab enterprise customers looking to enhance performance and reduce costs.
