GitLab CI/CD

GitLab’s built-in CI/CD runner, configured as a .gitlab-ci.yml file in the repository. It is the same idea as GitHub Actions above, run on a self-hosted GitLab Community Edition instance rather than a hosted service.

I lean on GitLab CI/CD heavily at UW-Milwaukee, where .gitlab-ci.yml pipelines running on our self-hosted GitLab Community Edition instance build, test, and deploy the applications I maintain.

Experience highlights

• Author .gitlab-ci.yml pipelines that build, test, and deploy application changes.
• Run those pipelines on a self-hosted GitLab Community Edition instance.
