What makes Gitlab significantly better than the other gitlings?

• znpy 6y ago
  the gitlab-ci is the killer app. also, the fact that you can self-host it and it's very easy to do so.

    how is that better than jenkins?

  IMHO, it's integration. znpy was correct, but incomplete: GitLab ships with CI/CD, secrets management via Vault, AWS ECS integration, Kubernetes integration, issue tracking, wiki, an artifact repository for 5 major package types, metrics, alerts, and even a full-blown Slack competitor (optional, of course) You can absolutely integrate your favorite, and/or best of breed, tools with any git hosting software that you'd like -- but that takes non-zero time to do and upgrading them will also be non-zero time. GitLab ships like a machine every month, and it seems this feature announcement is representative of the caliber of every release

    does it make sense to switch to gitlab if one already has most of those things integrated?
