We're making GitLab ChatOps available to everyone!

GitLab is an open-core project featuring both open-source and source-available code, with feature tiers determined by the likely type of buyer; individual contributor-targeted features are promised to be open-sourced. An example is GitLab ChatOps, which allows users to execute commands from chat platforms like Slack and Mattermost, enhancing transparency by allowing everyone to track actions in real-time. Initially misclassified, ChatOps is now set to be open-sourced in GitLab version 11.9, as individual contributors are its primary users. Despite its potential, ChatOps has not gained the expected traction, and its first client, Hubot, has seen a decline in popularity. Essential elements for ChatOps' success include monitoring, queryability, permissions, zero-config functionality, and consistency. GitLab enhances these elements with features such as zero-config and consistency, leveraging its integrated DevOps lifecycle application. The current version of ChatOps lacks default deployment and metric commands, but open-sourcing aims to boost utilization and community contributions, as evidenced by over 150 contributions in the latest release.
