Building GitLab with GitLab: How GitLab.com inspired Dedicated

GitLab Dedicated, a single-tenancy software-as-a-service offering, was launched to meet the stringent compliance requirements of customers while maintaining efficiency and security. Developed from insights gained from GitLab.com, the multi-tenancy model, GitLab Dedicated addresses automation, databases, monitoring, and availability with unique design decisions tailored to a single-tenant environment. The platform automates the configuration, provisioning, and day-two operations of GitLab instances, relying heavily on the GitLab Environment Toolkit and Terraform for deployment. It utilizes AWS's managed services for databases and ensures high availability with redundant architecture. The bespoke Switchboard application serves as a central management portal for configuration and upgrades. The observability stack benefits from GitLab.com experience but is adapted for the isolated environments of Dedicated instances, addressing compliance and regulatory needs by ensuring data does not leave the customer's AWS account. Unique features such as "Bring your own key" for encryption and PrivateLink networking enhance security and privacy, making GitLab Dedicated a tailored solution for clients with specific compliance demands.
