GitLab CI/CD

GitLab CI/CD is known for its robust pipeline definition (.gitlab-ci.yml) and Auto DevOps capabilities. In 2025, CI Components replace legacy templates for modular pipeline composition.

When to Use

• GitLab Users: It's integrated and excellent.
• Complex Pipelines: The DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) capabilities are sophisticated (needs keyword).
• On-Prem: Excellent support for air-gapped instances.
