CodePen, welcome to GitLab!

CodePen's transition to GitLab has provided them with increased control, security, and efficiency in their operations. By utilizing a self-managed GitLab instance on AWS, they have gained autonomy over their deployments, enhancing their ability to manage downtime and protect against security breaches. The open-source nature of GitLab, along with its cost-effectiveness, has also been a compelling factor, offering features like Multiple Issue Boards and Continuous Integration without reliance on third-party services. This move has streamlined CodePen's project management by integrating tasks, issue boards, and time tracking within a single platform, replacing previous tools like Trello and GitHub. The transition process included challenges, such as manual data transfers due to the initial oversight of the GitLab Importer tool, but overall, the team finds GitLab's comprehensive features, including its user-friendly pipelines and rollback options, to be a significant improvement, although they still anticipate the addition of features like squash-merge and burndown charts.
