Customer Story: Why Vaadin chose GitLab

Vaadin, an open-source UI development company with over 170 employees and 150,000 active users, transitioned to GitLab to streamline its project management and reduce administrative overhead, having previously used a combination of Gitolite, Trac, and other platforms. The IT manager, Mikael Vappula, found GitLab to be a suitable choice for centralizing their diverse tools, thus improving efficiency and reducing time lost by developers due to fragmented systems. The migration to GitLab, facilitated by the Omnibus distribution, was smooth, allowing the company to consolidate resources to a single server and configuration file for its 200 internal projects. The integration with Vaadin's CAS-powered authentication system required attention, but the transition was generally well-received by the team, who valued the flexibility and open-minded culture that allowed them to choose their tools. GitLab's features, such as cross-linking issues and merges, have notably enhanced workflow, collaboration, and communication within the team.
