Decision Kit

Summary

XebiaLabs is a platform that connects bring-your-own DevOps tools for release, deployment, and analytics. It stitches together your choice of tools “In the same way a conductor directs a symphony production, cueing all of the myriad participants to work together for a synchronized, flowing, harmonious performance, XebiaLabs orchestrates the tools in a pipeline to ensure successful, optimized release flow.”

DevOps-specific Key Performance Indicators help you identify bottlenecks and improve processes. Tune your processes for highest efficiency. Anticipate delays and take action before they turn into failures. Automate release activities to optimize delivery.

While attempting to solve the same challenge as GitLab, XebiaLabs’ approach remains expensive and complex relative to GitLab’s single application across the entire SDLC.

Environments and deployments

GitLab CI is capable of not only testing or building your projects, but also deploying them in your infrastructure, with the added benefit of giving you a way to track your deployments. Environments are like tags for your CI jobs, describing where code gets deployed.

Security Dashboards

“Security Dashboards report the latest security status of the default branch for each project. View, triage, and manage vulnerabilities at the Project, Group, or Instance level from a single view. Drill into individual vulnerability details or see high level trends and potential trouble spots.”
