At my company, we use Gitlab only as version control system and it works very well for around 100 programmers. We run it on an EC2 medium instance, around 200 GB standard SSD storage.
We don't use Gitlab for CI. We use Jenkins.
For task and issues management we use JIRA.
Yes, it's 3 tools to manage but since each of the tools is really optimized for its task, it works really well.
- Waterluvian 9y agoDidn't even know gitlab has CI. At my office we have Jenkins plugged into our local gitlab instance.
- iriche 9y agoGitLab CI works really well, haven't looked back at Jenkins since I swapped
- bobviolier 9y agoSame here! We love GitLab CI
- raarts 9y agoAgreed. Love it.
- lloeki 9y agoGitLab CI is, for us, configurable in ways that CircleCI and Travis are not, by a long shot (but they both have other features that gitlab doesn't have, it's just that we don't need them) I sure miss CircleCI step folding in the log output though.
- allan_s 9y agothis, step folding is definitely missing in gitlab-ci compare to travis, especially as it seems most CI product have it and (I think) it something that only require frontend developement ?
- Snappy 9y agoThanks for the feedback. Here's an issue to track the request: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14664 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14664 and I added it to our Missing features section with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/ddfc9ee10a1fdd39dfabd7ec2bbcdabbbb2fdf61 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/ddfc9ee1....
- connorshea 9y agoI know you said you don't need them, but what features are we missing?
- Kihashi 9y agoI actually really like gitlab CI because it is incredibly simple and easy to get started. I'm sure if we had a more complicated CI flow we would benefit from Jenkins, but it's 1 less tool to manage. Also, IIRC, when it first came out, Jenkins didn't allow you to store the CI config in a repo file, which I much prefer.
- tootie 9y agoI think any of these all-in-one solutions will eventually hit a wall. I've used integrated VCS/CI/Issues for small-scale projects and static site generation and it's very handy. But any substantial enterprise project is going to need Jenkins and JIRA before too long.
