What's in your SDLC toolchain?
Application rationalization...
Toolchain consolidation...
Whatever your organization calls it, it comes down to this...
"Why use 5 tools where 1 will suffice?"
Any organization running on your typical modern stack eventually runs into this problem.
... And it’s only getting worse
At the upper edges of your typical playbook, you run into performance issues, which leads to needing to spend more time and resources simply maintaining the stack.
The shift to microservices has created an explosion of projects that the modern toolchain is not built to handle.
As an example, at a recent company dinner, a Head of Risk at one of the BIG 4 Banks said that they have 20 developers working on just managing and keeping the SDLC tools running in org.
Well, did you know that GitLab is a single application that handles the ENTIRE SDLC (or DevSecOps) toolchain?
One of our clients at an asset management firm responded that, "I have 1 guy that spends 25% time to keep GitLab up and going for my team of 1500 devs"
One application to do what usually requires Jira + GitHub/Bitbucket + Jenkins + (whatever else is in your stack).
This gives you faster software delivery, creates visibility in your pipeline, eliminates silos/bottlenecks, and reduces your IT costs.
So why use a traditional toolchain?
(I actually had a DevOps Engineer seemingly brag that they've got 79+ tools in their stack. NOT SCALABLE)
Especially when we're not a rip-and-replace (unless you're into that kind of thing), and we can coexist peacefully with your existing stack.
If you're interested in learning more, I'd be happy to speak with you and share how enterprises like Nasdaq, Verizon, and NASA are standardizing on GitLab to deliver software 3x faster while reducing IT costs.
Leave a one word comment below saying "YES" and we'll find a time that works.
