Gitlab CI is powerful, and (IMHO/IME) a selling point compared to other options.

  In my company CI is pretty trivial. docker build . -t projectname:branchname and push it to the internal registry. For one project I set up additional docker run step to run integration test (it used docker itself so it was not possible to run it at build time which is docker limitation IMO). I remember setting up complex jenkins jobs back in the past, but at this time usually all you need is to build docker container from your project and actual build configuration is inside Dockerfile. And this should not require complex CI (and I spent more than one hour setting up Gitlab CI for this simple workflow). Gitlab CI is powerful indeed, but needlessly complex IMO. If I would set up project for myself, I probably would downshift to simple bash script like I did CI 15 years ago.
