Jira/Confluence (Atlassian) out, it was slow anyway. Gitlab onprem solution to replace it. If Gitlab ends up costing too much down the line, OSS gits will work just the same. Atlassian support is horrible anyway.
I have no issue paying for something if its good and Gitlab for the bits i’ve used is pretty good. Its either that or Shortcut.
The only thing I like from Atlassian is Jira. Yeah it’s slow, but it has a bunch of features that work really well for larger teams, such as:
- team kanban board
- custom fields
- cross-project boards (we have a separate repo per microservice)
Maybe Gitlab has a solution for the above, IDK, but Jira makes it pretty easy to model our larger project.
Then again, we’re a larger org that’s not as sensitive to price increases, so maybe it’s moot.
Honestly looking forward to doing an analysis of Gitlab for project, agile release trains, and portfolio management. I would love to have service desk, devs, and managers all looking at the same thing.
