GitLab CI
GitLab CI is a tool, practice, standard, platform, or technical concept used in modern digital product delivery. Its role depends on the product architecture, operational requirements, and the teams responsible for building and maintaining the system.
Project context
The right approach depends on the existing stack, business goals, integrations, risk profile, and maintenance model. We evaluate those constraints before recommending implementation.
