Open-source Git software package
GitLab Inc. is an open-core company that operates GitLab, a DevOps software package that can develop, secure, and operate software.[9] GitLab includes a distributed version control based on Git ,[10] including features such as access control ,[11] bug tracking ,[12] software feature requests, task management ,[13] and wikis [14] for every project, as well as snippets .[15]
The open-source software project was created by Ukrainian developer Dmytriy Zaporozhets and Dutch developer Sytse Sijbrandij.[16] In 2018, GitLab Inc. was considered to be the first partly-Ukrainian unicorn .[17] [18] GitLab has an estimated over 30 million registered users, including 1 million active licensed users.[9] [19] There are more than 3,300 code contributors and team members in 60+ countries.[20]
Overview
[ edit ]
GitLab Inc. was established in 2014 to continue the development of the open-source code-sharing platform launched in 2011 by Dmytriy Zaporozhets. The company's co-founder Sytse Sijbrandij initially contributed to the project and decided to build a business around it.[21] [22]
GitLab offers its platform using a freemium model.[21] Since its founding, GitLab Inc. has promoted remote work [23] and is known as one of the largest all-remote companies in the world.[24] By 2020, the company employed 1300 people in 65 countries.[23] [25]
History
[ edit ]
The company participated in the YCombinator seed accelerator Winter 2015 program. By 2015, notable customers included Alibaba Group and IBM .[22]
In January 2017, a database administrator accidentally deleted the production database in the aftermath of a cyberattack , causing the loss of a substantial amount of issue data and merge request data.[26] The recovery process was live-streamed on YouTube .[27] [28]
In April 2018, GitLab Inc. announced integration with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to simplify the process of spinning up a new cluster to deploy applications.[29]
In May 2018, GNOME moved to GitLab with over 400 projects and 900 contributors.[30] [31]
On August 1, 2018, GitLab Inc. started development of Meltano.[32]
On August 11, 2018, GitLab Inc. moved from Microsoft Azure to Google Cloud Platform , making the service inaccessible to users in several regions including: Crimea , Cuba , Iran , North Korea , Sudan , and Syria , due to sanctions imposed by Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States .[33] In order to overcome this limitation, the non-profit organization Framasoft began providing a Debian mirror to make GitLab CE available in those countries.[34]
In 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic , GitLab Inc. released "GitLab's Guide to All-Remote" as well as a course on remote management for the purpose of aiding companies interested in building all-remote work cultures.[35] [36]
April 2020 saw the expansion of GitLab Inc. into the Australian and Japanese markets.[37] [38] In November that same year, GitLab Inc. was valued at more than $6 billion in a secondary market evaluation.[39]
In 2021, OMERS participated in a secondary shares investment in GitLab Inc.[40]
On March 18, 2021, GitLab Inc. licensed its technology to the Chinese company JiHu.[41]
On June 30, 2021, GitLab Inc. spun out Meltano, an open source ELT platform.[42]
On July 23, 2021, GitLab Inc. released its software Package Hunter, a Falco-based tool that detects malicious code,[43] under the open-source MIT Licence.
On August 4, 2022, GitLab announced its plans for changing its Data Retention Policy and for automatically deleting inactive repositories which have not been modified for a year. As a result, in the following days GitLab received much criticism from the open-source community.[44] Shortly after, it was announced that dormant projects would not be deleted, and would instead remain accessible in an archived state, potentially using a slower type of storage.[45] [46]
In May 2023, the company launched the "GitLab 16.0" platform as an AI-driven DevSecOps solution. It contained over 55 new features and enhancements.[47]
In July 2024, Reuters reported that GitLab was exploring a potential sale after attracting acquisition interest, with cloud monitoring firm Datadog named as one of the interested parties.[48]
Fundraising
[ edit ]
GitLab Inc. initially raised $1.5 million in seed funding .[22] Subsequent funding rounds include:
September 2015 - $4 million in Series A funding from Khosla Ventures .[49]
September 2016 - $20 million in Series B funding from August Capital and others.[50]
October 2016 - $20 million in Series C funding from GV and others.[51]
September 19, 2018 - $100 million in Series D-round funding led by ICONIQ Capital.
2019 - $268 million in Series E-round funding led by Goldman Sachs and ICONIQ Capital at a valuation of $2.7 billion.[52] [53]
IPO
[ edit ]
On September 17, 2021, GitLab Inc. publicly filed a registration statement Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to the proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock.[54] The firm began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker "GTLB" on October 14, 2021.[55]
Adoption
[ edit ]
GitLab Forge was officially adopted in 2023 by the French Ministry for Education to create a "Digital Educational Commons" of educational resources.[56]
Acquisitions
[ edit ]
In March 2015, GitLab Inc. acquired competing Git hosting Service Gitorious , which had around 822,000 registered users at the time.[57] These users were encouraged to move to GitLab and the Gitorious service was discontinued in June 2015.[57]
On March 15, 2017, GitLab Inc. announced the acquisition of Gitter .[58] Included in the announcement was the stated intent that Gitter would continue as a standalone project. Additionally, GitLab Inc. announced that the code would become open-source under an MIT License no later than June 2017.[59]
In January 2018, GitLab Inc. acquired Gemnasium, a service that provided security scanners with alerts for known security vulnerabilities in open-source libraries of various languages.[60] 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 .[61]
On June 11, 2020, GitLab Inc. acquired Peach Tech, a security software firm specializing in protocol fuzz testing , and Fuzzit,[62] a continuous “fuzz” security testing solution.
