Why we chose ECharts for data visualizations

GitLab's decision to adopt ECharts as their primary charting library stemmed from their need to streamline and accelerate their data visualization processes across the DevOps lifecycle. Initially considering D3.js, they found it too complex and time-consuming given their ambitious growth and hiring plans. After evaluating several options, GitLab chose ECharts for its robust, flexible chart types and the ability to customize and integrate with existing designs, which significantly boosted their development velocity compared to D3.js. Despite some challenges, such as language barriers in documentation, ECharts' growing international community and supportive core team have facilitated a successful partnership, enabling GitLab to expand charting capabilities from the Monitor stage to the Secure and Manage stages, thereby enhancing their product development processes.
