Sid Sijbrandij, GitLab | | GitLab Commit 2020
summary
GitLab combines version control and CI into a single application that the company says cuts developer cycle time dramatically — an example: a Goldman Sachs project moves from two weeks to two hours. The company reports 100 million ARR, over 1,100 employees, a public 3,000‑page handbook, about 200 monthly community contributions, 85% annual retention, and a valuation near $3 billion while shipping monthly releases and keeping the platform open and integrable.
