How what we learned at KubeCon EU 2022 will impact our product roadmaps

KubeCon EU 2022 in Valencia, Spain, marked GitLab's return to in-person events after two years of virtual participation, where key takeaways were shared that will influence GitLab's roadmap. The event highlighted the importance of internal platforms and GitOps for simplifying operations for developers, with emphasis on secrets management as a critical DevOps issue, particularly in cloud-native contexts. GitLab aims to enhance its secrets management by improving existing solutions and leveraging tools like Hashicorp Vault, while infrastructure integrations were discussed, noting the potential of WebAssembly (WASM) in simplifying runtime environments. Although GitLab does not plan to directly support WASM yet, the company remains open to future integrations as demand grows. The positive feedback from users at KubeCon underscored GitLab's stability, reliability, and user-friendly documentation, with some expressing interest in migrating from Jenkins to GitLab. The blog post concludes by inviting feedback and noting that the information is subject to change as GitLab continues to validate its direction based on user insights and industry trends.
