Ask HN: Gitlab, Atlassian, GitHub, etc – which one?
If you were starting a software company today, and had no technical debt from using legacy technologies in place, what software stack would you use to run the software development company?
Capabilties such as:
- VCS,
- Issue tracking,
- project management,
- CI/CD,
- chat,
- maybe even HelpDesk
- etc?
Gitlab & Atlassian seem interesting because they both have the full stack of capabilities (VCS, Issue Tracking, Project Boards, CI/CD, chat, etc).
Yet Atlassian is a bit "old" so don't know if that's good or bad.
Then there's Github, but it's lacking CI/CD and a number of other features.
If you had a clean slate, what vendor stack would you use and why to run the software development and deployment of your product?
- Piskvorrr 9y agoGithub is, w/r/t your company, outsourced. Think whether you want to have your code residing out of your network and out of your control. You can run a Gitlab instance locally - the most practical risk of "serverless" computing being "we can't do normal devel flow, network is down". (No idea about Atlassian)
- smt88 9y agoThis is probably controversial around these parts, but I love Atlassian products. Jira used to be awful years ago, but it's now genuinely fantastic to use. It also has excellent integrations.
