About GitLab

GitLab started as an open-source project created by Dmitriy Zaporozhets in his house in Ukraine to help his team collaborate on code. After teaming up with Sytse Sijbrandij, they formed a company that famously operated as one of the world's largest all-remote workforces, long before the pandemic.

Unlike competitors that piece together different tools for code hosting, CI/CD, and security, GitLab pioneered the concept of a single application for the entire DevSecOps lifecycle. This allows engineering, security, and operations teams to collaborate on a single unified platform.
