Version Control with Git
GitLab is based on Git, a distributed version control system, allowing efficient versioning and source code control.
Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD)
The platform offers integrated CI/CD pipelines, allowing code to be automatically tested and deployed to production environments with high frequency and low risk.
Security
Security is one of GitLab's priorities, with features such as code analysis, vulnerability testing, and permissions management. GitLab also offers integration with security scanners to detect flaws and risks.
Collaboration and Communication
The platform offers features for real-time collaboration, including code reviews, integration with chat systems like Slack, and tools for tracking bugs and improvements, facilitating communication between teams.
Monitoring and Feedback
GitLab includes application performance monitoring tools and metrics collection to provide developers with continuous feedback on software performance and health.
Support Automation and Infrastructure as Code
GitLab enables the use of infrastructure as code (IaC) and automation, simplifying the creation and management of development and production environments.
