Summary

GitLab announced changes to its platform, effective June 22, 2020, aimed at improving performance and reliability by adjusting the retention and expiration policies for job artifacts and metadata. New job artifacts will default to a 30-day expiration period, while existing artifacts created after October 22, 2019, will expire one year from their creation date, and those created before this date will expire by April 22, 2021. Additionally, job data older than 12 months will be archived starting June 22, 2020, with the archiving period reducing to 3 months by September 22, 2020. These adjustments aim to reduce storage use and operational costs, offering users an enhanced experience on GitLab.com. Users can override the default expiration settings using the 'expire_in' keyword if they wish to retain their artifacts for longer periods.
