GitLab Inc. is a publicly traded DevSecOps software company, established in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco. The platform unifies the full software development lifecycle—including planning, source code management, CI/CD, security scanning, and compliance—into a single application. Since its roots as an open-source project in 2011, GitLab has grown to serve over 30 million registered users, including more than half of the Fortune 100, through both self-managed and cloud-hosted offerings. The company has maintained a steady release cadence and is known for integrating AI-based coding and security automation tools, such as GitLab Duo Pro and Duo Agent.

GitLab operates as a fully remote-first organization, with team members distributed across dozens of countries and no centralized offices. Its all-remote model is deeply embedded in its culture—emphasizing asynchronous communication, comprehensive documentation, and a transparent handbook approach that has been influential across the tech industry. In FY 2024, GitLab delivered $580M in revenue, up 37% year-over-year, with strong retention metrics and improving margins, while reaching its first non-GAAP net income. The company has also explored acquisition opportunities in 2024, valued at around $8 billion, with Alphabet among its major investors.
