GitLab team member here. You may want to check out (and sign up as a beta tester) for Cloud Seed, an open-source program led by GitLab Incubation Engineering in collaboration with Google Cloud: https://hello.cloudseed.app/

According to that URL: > Deploying web applications from GitLab to major cloud providers should be trivial. Yes, that's what I want! I find it easy to develop web apps in Python, but a PITA to deploy them.

You can get gitlab cicd to build a docker image based on your python code that you can push to whatever cloud thing you like

I love it. - I like little quirks in logos like the infinity here. - It's much more minimal. The old logo had too many unnecessary lines in my opinion. - I quickly associate the canine appearance and the color orange as a fox so I'm not sure why people are not identifying as one. - The subtle borders are chef's kiss .

The old logo had a fun little animation when you hovered over it which took advantage of all the lines, seems they did away with it :(

>DevOps Is at the Center of Gitlab Yeah, just had a call with them and they confirmed that for only VCS its not feasible to use their platform. What are people migrating to? I am looking at bitbucket again I guess.

I haven’t used it but I think sr.ht might match your needs.

Bibucket's code review tools are really bad. As usual for Atlassian products, every click takes 1-2 seconds. Finding comments requires manually scrolling. There is a filter function, but it takes some time to load. And even then, there's no way to sort comments chronologically. As a result, we would be constantly missing responses if it wasn't for the email notifications. If a correction is made through force-push, y…

Brought down the repo at an airline when I included an emoji in a commit message.

SRE jokingly stands for "SysAdmin, Really Expensive"

Real SREs are great. Who wouldn't want a Systems Engineer that codes and can interrogate kernel issues or a Software Engineer capable of writing their own compiler running your operations? Most companies, even if they hire these people, don't know how to use or listen to them though. What usually happens is they get lumped in with a bunch of Application Operations folks and it sours the idea entirely.

Yeah, this. There's a gulf between people like Brendan Gregg (my go-to example of a "Real SRE") and those I've actually worked with, who anointed themselves with the same title...

As a side-note, is any tech group more keen on title inflation than SREs? In the time I've been a developer / software-engineer I've seen sys admin, DevOps, Cloud Ops, SRE... it's literally the same people.

The GitLab logo/mascot is actually a tanuki, a Japanese racoon dog. It symbolizes our values as a smart animal that works in a group to achieve a common goal.

Your logo is a fox to everyone though, doesn't really matter what the intent was.

Agree as a Japanese.

Ive started working with Gitlab in last few months for new contract and this was exactly what hit me hard. Gitlab has too many half-baked features. Ive hit those issues at least a dosen times. From the top of my head: - Environment variables dont work with triggers - MS Teams integration does not support multiple channels - Masking doesnt work for all variables - Code AutoDeploy quite often just breaks for no reason.…

GitLab Product Leader here - we do focus on MVCs and have built a lot of breadth in our product, that's something we are proud of. I do think we do a good job of pivoting and removing features where appropriate. For example we started with a not-secure-enough mechanism for attaching Kubernetes clusters and shifted to the more secure GitLab Agent for Kubernetes[1], deprecating the certificate method. We also started w…

Here’s another one of those maddening issues:

I’ve had to write a wrapper script around each command that polls the cicd job Id and kills its subprocesses properly if the job is cancelled.
