GitLab at DOES San Francisco 2016

At the DevOps Enterprise Summit (DOES) 2016, Haydn Mackay, U.S. Sales Director for GitLab, discussed the company's open-source code collaboration platform and its evolution since its inception in 2013. Highlighting GitLab's growth and distinction from GitHub, Mackay emphasized GitLab's integration of version control, issue tracking, code review, and CI/CD in one application, appealing to both community users and Enterprise Edition subscribers, including major clients like Disney, Akamai, and IBM. The conversation touched on the increasing industry trend of embracing open-source tools and best practices, noting that developers prefer platforms that allow contributions to the tools they use regularly. Continuous delivery was discussed as a process allowing for immediate releases, which GitLab practices with a regular release schedule but can adapt for urgent updates. Moreover, the open-source community's contributions, like GitLab CI, illustrate the platform's collaborative nature. The discussion also addressed the balance companies must maintain when utilizing open-source tools, weighing the benefits against concerns like reliability and support, while GitLab continues to focus on providing on-premise solutions.
