GitLab is a web-based Git-repository manager providing wiki, issue-tracking and CI/CD pipeline[1] features, using an open-source license, developed by GitLab Inc. The software was created by Dmitriy Zaporozhets and Valery Sizov,[2]Template:Failed verification and is used by several large tech companies including IBM, Sony, Jülich Research Center, NASA, Alibaba, Invincea, O’Reilly Media, Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ), CERN,[3][4][5] European XFEL, GNOME Foundation, Boeing, Autodata, and SpaceX.[6]

The code was originally written in Ruby, with some parts later rewritten in Go, initially as a source code management solution to collaborate with his team on software development. It later evolved to an integrated solution covering the software development life cycle, and then to the whole DevOps life cycle. The current technology stack includes Go, Ruby on Rails and Vue.js.

It follows an open-core development model where the core functionality is released under an open source (MIT) license while the additional functionality is under a proprietary license.

History

The product was originally named GitLab and was fully free and open-source software distributed under the MIT License.[7]

In July 2013,[8] the product was split into two distinct versions: GitLab CE: Community Edition and GitLab EE: Enterprise Edition. At that time, the license of both remained the same, being both free and open-source software distributed under the MIT License.

In February 2014, GitLab announced adoption of an open-core business model.[9] GitLab EE is set under the source-available EE License, and contains features not present in the CE version.[10] The GitLab CE licensing model still unchanged and the company continued to develop and support CE edition. While GitLab EE changed to a restricted license, the source-code, issues and merge-requests remained publicly visible.[11]

In March 2015, GitLab acquired Gitorious, a competing Git hosting service.[12] Gitorious had at the time around 822,000 registered users.[12] Users were encouraged to move to GitLab, and the Gitorious service was discontinued in June 2015.[12]

In July 2015, the company raised an additional $1.5 million in seed funding.[13] Customers as of 2015 included Alibaba Group, IBM, and SpaceX.[13]

In September 2015, GitLab raised $4 million in Series A funding from Khosla Ventures.[14]

In July 2016, the GitLab CEO confirmed the open-core business model of the company.[15]

In September 2016, GitLab raised $20 million in Series B funding from August Capital and others.[16]

In January 2017, a database administrator accidentally deleted the production database, in the aftermath of a cyber attack. Six hours worth of issue and merge request data was lost.[17] The recovery process was live-streamed on YouTube.[18][19]

On March 15, 2017, GitLab announced the acquisition of Gitter.[20] Included in the announcement was the stated intent that Gitter would continue as a standalone project. Additionally, GitLab announced that the code would become open-source under an MIT License no later than June 2017.[21]

In October, 2017, GitLab raised $20 million in Series C funding from GV and others.[22]

In January, 2018, GitLab acquired Gemnasium a service that provided security scanner with alerts for known security vulnerabilities in open-source libraries of various languages.[23] The service was scheduled for complete shut-down on May 15. Gemnasium features and technology was integrated into GitLab EE and as part of CI/CD.[24]

In May 2018, GNOME moved to GitLab with over 400 projects and 900 contributors.[25][26]

On June 4, 2018, the same day GitHub was acquired by Microsoft,[27][28] some projects previously hosted on GitHub might have been moved to GitLab.[29] GitLab moved from Microsoft Azure to Google Cloud Platform in August 11, 2018, which made the service inaccessible to users in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria, due to sanctions imposed by Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States.[30]
