And their reported popularity is based on data from a single CI company. This is further skewed since it&amp;#x27;s one of a few CI tools that actually supports Gitlab as an OAuth provider.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s no way this claim would stand up to any scrutiny or more data-gathering. It&amp;#x27;s just marketing fluff.&lt;p&gt;EDIT: More on what upset me about this claim.&lt;p&gt;First, we have no idea of what the composition of the 10,000 applications Bitrise surveyed are like. There could be a single company that uses Gitlab to test thousands of applications that completely invalidate this result.&lt;p&gt;Second, this insults my (and every other competent readers&amp;#x27;) intelligence. This is badly done marketing. And their audience is developers. So they know they&amp;#x27;re misleading us but I guess they don&amp;#x27;t care.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>What’s Next for Gitlab CI: Auto DevOps</title><url>https://about.gitlab.com/2017/06/29/whats-next-for-gitlab-ci</url></story>

It&amp;#x27;s a really good git hosting system that is easy to maintain and work with. My self hosted instance has broken only twice in the last 1.5 years and it was always because of an upgrade and it was always easily fixed.&lt;p&gt;But now i have to say i&amp;#x27;m afraid gitlab is getting bloated. Why not keep the core product as a seperate thing from things like CI? a simple plugin style system would be enough for it to not feel like bloat but feel like extra options.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>What’s Next for Gitlab CI: Auto DevOps</title><url>https://about.gitlab.com/2017/06/29/whats-next-for-gitlab-ci</url></story>
