CERN uses GitLab to remove the obstacles around global researchers

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has adopted GitLab as a solution to manage the complexities of coordinating thousands of projects with numerous global contributors, particularly focusing on the challenges of code review and collaboration. Approximately three years ago, CERN chose GitLab due to its open core, self-managed model, aligning with CERN's advocacy for open source software and data sovereignty. Today, more than 12,000 CERN users utilize GitLab, running 120,000 CI jobs monthly, enabling efficient operations, code collaboration, and project management. Alex Lossent, Version Control Systems Service Manager at CERN, highlights that GitLab allows handling of more complex projects and improves efficiency, while Lukas Heinrich, a partner physicist, notes the benefits of GitLab's on-premise nature for accessing CERN's services and data storage. GitLab's implementation has enhanced CERN's ability to connect researchers globally, facilitating communication and collaboration in their extensive data analysis and development processes.
