Everything we build with software is built on others' work. Imagine building software without programming language libraries. We need that same experience with AI for it to reach its true potential for developers. Here's how we are thinking about this challenge at GitLab: devops.com/dont-reinven...

It's been incredible to see an idea blossom across different open source communities. OCI artifacts have always been on my mind from my days working on @cncf.io projects like Carvel and Argo CD. At GitLab, we have big ideas for OCI images as well. Read more below: about.gitlab.com/blog/2025/02...

In our Getting Started with GitLab series, we took a look at how GitLab helps with project management. We break down the basics of turning big ideas into actionable items and how to stay organized along the way. Let us know how you're using these features day-to-day. about.gitlab.com/blog/2025/02...

It was awesome working with Fernando Diaz on this demo showcasing GitLab's protected container registry feature available in GitLab v17.8. This feature allows for putting in place restrictions on users making changes to container images in GitLab's container registry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=am8C...

I wrote about the benefits of conducting container vulnerability scans post deployment and how GitLab's Operational Container Scanning makes that possible. Give it a read and let me know your thoughts! about.gitlab.com/blog/2025/01...

Enjoyed reading this piece from The New Stack on how Internal Developer Portals (IDP) fall short. I think the point of IDPs being passive is valid. Far too often, platform engineering teams get more benefit out of these tools than developers. thenewstack.io/internal-dev...

Internal Developer Portals Should Be Internal Developer Hubs
Many IDPs function as passive portals, adding complexity without real developer benefit.
