A platform whose interests
match yours

GitLab is an independent, publicly traded company, not owned by a hyperscaler. We aren't trying to sell you more of one vendor's cloud or one vendor's model, so a small team keeps its leverage as it grows.

  • Any cloud

    Run where you already are. No penalty for the cloud you use today, and no trap if you move.

  • Any model

    Bring the model that fits the job, from the frontier labs or from open-weight families.

  • Deployed your way

    SaaS, self-managed, or Dedicated. It's all GitLab, so a choice made at five people doesn't trap you at five hundred.

One platform instead of a toolchain you maintain

Separate tools for CI, security, a registry, and planning mean more to pay for, wire up, and keep running. GitLab puts them in one place, so you can focus on building.

No platform engineer?

Start with Auto DevOps

Run GitLab on any cloud, or your own hardware

No lock-in to a single hyperscaler. Use the cloud you already use, change it later, or run on hardware you own.

  • The cloud you use today

    No penalty for where you already run.

  • A different cloud later

    Move without changing your platform.

  • Your own hardware

    Run it yourself when you need full control.

AI on your terms

Pick the model, and the bill that fits the job

GitLab Duo works across frontier models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini, and open-weight families like Mistral and Llama. Choose a cost-appropriate model for each task, so AI spend is a choice you make, not a throughput bill you absorb.

Built for five people. Ready for five hundred.

Start on SaaS, move to self-managed for full control, or to Dedicated if you want it managed for you, all on the same platform. Seed-stage startups can get GitLab Ultimate free for one year, for up to 20 seats.
