Customer story: A creative agency's GitLab wishlist

Wouter van Kuipers, an engineer at the creative agency Lukkien, discussed with GitLab service engineer Lee Matos about their team's use of GitLab, especially focusing on the challenges they face with versioning for design files like Photoshop and InDesign and their transition to GitLab CI for testing. They require a platform that can securely host on-premises, which led them to choose GitLab over competitors. The team is also using Docker for hosting GitLab, which works well but raises concerns about potential limitations for future integrations like Mattermost. Lee emphasized that while Docker is seen as the future, most large-scale GitLab deployments typically use VMs or bare metal. In terms of long-term positioning, GitLab aims to create a cohesive end-to-end development tool akin to Atlassian's suite, distinguishing itself from GitHub by focusing on providing a comprehensive, integrated experience from idea to production without relying heavily on third-party integrations.
