Here are some other things about us you should know, in a segment of DevOpsTV.",[18],"Emily von Hoffmann","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749670702/Blog/Hero%20Images/party.jpg","2016-12-06","\n\nOur U.S. Sales Director, Haydn Mackay, joined Matt Hines on [DevOpsTV](https://devops.com/) at [DOES 2016](http://events.itrevolution.com/us/) in San Francisco last month. They chat about some trends they observed at the event, such as companies' increasing willingness to talk about tooling, and a warmer embrace of open source. Haydn explains what we do, how we got started, and mentions a few of our clients with names you might recognize. Watch their conversation or skim the transcript below, and tweet us your thoughts @GitLab.\n\n\u003C!-- more -->\n\n## Watch:\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/KooCVhZ7nHk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\n## Read:\n\n**Matt:** GitHub we're very familiar with, but GitLab is an emerging presence here so can you tell us about what it is you guys do?\n\n\n**Haydn:** We're the new kids on the block in the Git space; we do get mistaken for GitHub all the time. We're an open source code collaboration platform, been around since 2013 when the project was started by our CTO. We incorporated in the States in 2014. head office here in San Francisco. We're open source, but we also sell an Enterprise Edition. Version control, issue tracking, code review, and CI/CD all baked into a single application.\n\n**Matt:** Who are your customers who are here this week? Are there any onsite talking about what they're doing?\n\n\n**Haydn:** There are the two sides of the business - the community edition, our open source product. There are a lot of people who come up and see my shirt and say, \"hey, we love GitLab, we use you.\" That's great to hear because we don't know they're using it. Then we have our customer base who subscribe to the enterprise edition. There's a lot of them here, Disney's presenting, Akamai's presenting, IBM's presenting, they're on the enterprise side. A bunch on the community side like Capital One that's got some GitLab, there are quite a few here.\n\n**Matt:** Those are some great names.\n\n\n**Haydn:** Yeah and one message that has become clear this week is that everyone is really embracing open source. It made sense that the tools that developers use, git obviously being open source, but that the platform on top of Git makes sense to be open source as well so they can actually contribute to the tool they use everyday.\n\n**Matt:** There's been a lot of talk about best practices this week, it used to be \"emerging practices\" but now we're driving towards best practices. Nearly every conversation that I've had this week has elicited the fact that people more and more are willing to talk about tools. Before people said, \"listen I want to talk about culture, not tools,\" but now people are talking more and more about best practices for tooling. Are you seeing that with your business as well?\n\n\n**Haydn:** There's no doubt it's a competitive advantage. With the advent of continuous integration, and tying that to a development platform, and now continuous delivery and deployment, it's all becoming tightly integrated and I think there's two ROIs for that. One is you attract the right talent. The modern developer today grew up on GitHub, there's no doubt about it. So they go to a company and they expect to see that kind of workflow and tooling. It becomes a recruitment and retention strategy. And you can also improve the performance of your development team, getting stuff done and out the door faster, increasing your deployment velocity and things like that. Two-fold.\n\n**Matt:** I'm going to put you on the spot here, continuous people say \"DevOps means something different to everybody.\" I think continuous delivery suffers the same malady. What does continuous delivery mean to you and to GitLab?\n\n\n**Haydn:** Continuous delivery to me means that you're in a state where you can release at any given moment. It's not so much an end result but a process. The outcome of that process is being able to ship something at any given moment, if you had to. If you wanted to ship in the next five minutes, then you could. You may not, you may decide to ship once a month like we do. We put out a major release on the 22nd of every month, that's just our regular drum beat cadence for releasing. But, if we had to put out an emergency patch for a security hole tomorrow or in the next five minutes, we could do that. To me that's what continuous delivery is.\n\n**Matt:** We've also talked about snowflakes here a lot. \"Everybody's a snowflake,\" or \"people aren't such a snowflake,\" others say. Definitions aside, you talk about bringing to market an integrated single platform, and it's got various components to it. I imagine different organizations have different ideas about what they need from a platform. How has Gitlab arrived at what needs to be in the platform it's providing and how is that changing?\n\n\n**Haydn:** That's a really good question. Our CEO has really defined our scope of what we'll include in the platform and what we won't go after. The core developer tools have always been version control, code review, issue tracking, and now we're seeing continuous integration also becoming part of that dev stack, along with deployment to some degree. But things like security scanning, or scanning for vulnerabilities, is probably something that we wouldn't say is part of our scope. We try to be really clear about what will be part of our platform and which areas we'll look to integrate with or open up to others.\n\n**Matt:** The beauty of being open source is that you're 100% engaged with the community, and seeing how they're advancing their use of the tooling, must drive a lot of what you do there.\n\n\n**Haydn:** Yes and in fact GitLab CI, and the Runner used in CI, was contributed by someone in the community. It was something that developers wanted inside GitLab and they just went ahead and did it. So it's a prime example of that.\n\n**Matt:** I'll ask you one last question before we let you go. One of the presentations here yesterday talked about the top ten ways to fail at DevOps. One of those was too much open source, because of the notion of reliability, support, etc. Listen, we've been hearing this since the genesis of the open source movement. Yet at the same time, this is being exacerbated by DevOps, the cloud, there's all sorts of confluences that continue to bring this subject to light. As a provider that is driven by an open source community, how do you encourage people to use as much of the open source tooling as possible while balancing that?\n\n\n**Haydn:** Yeah, it's always tricky. A lot of companies are embedding open source components into the produce they're releasing, and also using open source tools as part of that development platform. What we've seen is they're kind of straddling the fence of how much to expose outside, and how much to keep on-premise. We've always been focused on-premise. That's how GitLab started, the CTO wanted a collaboration platform that he could put on his own servers for his consulting clients, that's how he started. He was importing things from open source, contributing to open source projects, but keeping that delineation between the two. Having an easy way to do it is the challenge.\n\n**Matt:** It's an interesting conversation and it probably always will be. Haydn thanks for joining us, GitLab clearly a very interesting company to watch within this space. I'm Matt Hines with DevOps TV for DevOps.com at DOES 2016, thanks for joining us.\n\n\n## Chat:\n\nTweet us [@GitLab](https://twitter.com/gitlab), check out our [job openings](/jobs/), or add your

Sijbrandij","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749665388/Blog/Hero%20Images/Revised2.png","2024-12-05","__This message from Sid Sijbrandij and Bill Staples was shared with GitLab team members earlier today.__ \n\n__Sid:__ On today’s earnings call, I announced that I am stepping down as CEO and will remain Executive Chair of the Board. I also introduced GitLab’s new CEO, [Bill Staples](https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamstaples/). \n\nAs a Board, we routinely do succession planning. This includes conversations with a number of top executives. We’ve been having these conversations in greater earnest since my cancer returned. Through these discussions, we identified someone uniquely qualified to lead GitLab. I want more time to focus on my cancer treatment and health. My treatments are going well, my cancer is not metastatic, and I'm working towards making a full recovery. Stepping down from a role that I love is not easy, but I believe that it is the right decision for GitLab.\n\nI couldn't be more excited to introduce you to Bill Staples, who will be leading GitLab into its next chapter. Bill will be GitLab’s CEO, effective today. He will also join the GitLab Board as a Director. Bill was most recently a public company CEO at New Relic. During his time there, he significantly increased the value of the company by accelerating revenue and driving increased profitability. He also brings decades of experience in leadership roles at Adobe and Microsoft. When I began speaking with Bill, I was immediately drawn to his customer-centric approach and deep product expertise. As I got to know him further, I knew that his shared value system made him the right person for this role, for our team members, for our customers, and for our shareholders. I feel fortunate that GitLab has found someone with a great leadership track record and strong DevOps expertise to lead GitLab into the future.\n\nWe have come so far from the early days when we launched GitLab.com. We have created the DevOps category and are the leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for both vision and execution. Millions of people now use GitLab to deliver software faster and more efficiently. We have integrated AI, Security, and Compliance into our platform to offer our enterprise customers the strongest AI-powered DevSecOps solution. We have also built GitLab in collaboration with our contributors. Last quarter, we had an all-time high of an estimated 1,800 code contributions from the wider community. It is incredible that as GitLab grew, our contributor community grew with us. We have done all of this while being a values-driven company, leading in all-remote work, championing transparency through our public handbook and culture, and co-creating with the wider community.\n\nI feel many things today, but more than anything else, I am grateful. I want to thank our customers. Driving results for them has been at the core of GitLab’s values, and I greatly appreciate their trust in us. I want to thank the wider GitLab community for their trust and enthusiasm. Their tens of thousands of contributions have greatly enhanced GitLab and its value for all users. Thank you, GitLab team members. Your contributions are at the core of GitLab’s success and the value we drive for our customers. Thank you, E-Group. You are amazing partners and collaborators in leading GitLab and our team members to achieve our very best. Thank you, GitLab Board. I have appreciated your support throughout my time as CEO and look forward to our ongoing partnership as I continue to serve as Executive Chair. And, thank you, Bill. I am excited for you to lead our next phase of growth. I am here to support you and the company in GitLab’s next chapter!\n\nI couldn't be more thrilled about Bill and what's ahead for GitLab with him at the helm. We have an incredible opportunity in front of us. Software has never mattered more, and GitLab is well-positioned to be the platform that best enables folks to create, secure, and operate it. I look forward to staying part of the company and being actively involved wherever Bill can use me. \n\n__Bill:__ Thanks, Sid, for the warm welcome! I greatly admire you and what you have accomplished. Very few people in the world have built a $10B market-cap technology company, taken it public, and scaled it to $750M in run-rate revenue. You have done incredible things with GitLab, and I’m grateful you will continue to play a meaningful role in the company. I appreciate your trust in me and commit to building upon the successes you and others should rightfully celebrate. \n\nI am so excited about GitLab and the opportunity ahead of us. Over the coming decade, we will see software-driven transformation around the world as AI accelerates and transforms the software revolution already in motion. GitLab and our mission are going to be more important than ever. I look forward to working with this team to scale GitLab well beyond where it is today.\n",[710],"news",{"slug":712,"featured":24,"template":13},"gitlab-names-bill-staples-as-new-ceo",{"content":714,"config":722},{"title":715,"description":716,"authors":717,"heroImage":719,"date":720,"body":721,"category":9},"Our Privacy Policy has been updated","Our updated Privacy Policy clarifies our existing data processing activities.",[718],"GitLab","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749664472/Blog/Hero%20Images/gitlabflatlogomap.png","2023-06-14","As part of our commitment to keeping our policies current, we made some updates to our [Privacy Policy](/privacy/) on June 14, 2022.

This change has been made to ensure the stability and reliability of our platform for all users.\n\n**Note:** Authorized users are not affected by this change.\n\n## What is the the Projects List API?\n\nThe Projects List API provides information about GitLab projects, including name, description, and other metadata. This API is widely used by our community, including researchers, developers, and integrators, to retrieve and analyze information about GitLab projects. We value this usage and aim to support it as much as possible.\n\n## Rate limitation details\n\nIn recent months, we have observed that the frequency and intensity of requests made by unauthenticated, also known as anonymous, users to the Projects List API have increased significantly. This has resulted in an increased load on our servers, which has impacted the performance and stability of our platform for all users. To address this issue, we have decided to introduce rate limitations for unauthenticated users.\n\nAs a consequence of this change, unauthenticated users of the Projects List API will be limited to 400 requests per 10 minutes per unique IP address on GitLab.com. If an unauthenticated user exceeds this limit, the user will receive a \"429 Too Many Requests\" response. On GitLab.com, this limit cannot be changed. Users of self-managed GitLab instances have the same rate limitation set by default, but [admins can change the rate limits](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/rate_limit_on_projects_api.html#rate-limit-on-projects-api) as they see fit via the UI or the application settings API. They can also set the rate limit to zero, which acts as if there is no rate limitation at all.\n\nWe understand that this change may impact some of our users who rely on the Projects List API, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We encourage users who need to make more than 400 requests per 10 minutes to the Projects List API to [sign up for a GitLab account](/pricing/), which provides higher rate limits and other benefits, such as access to additional APIs and integrations.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns about this change, please do not hesitate to [leave feedback in this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/404611).\n",[734,735,710],"product","features",{"slug":737,"featured":12,"template":13},"rate-limitation-for-unauthorized-users-projects-list-api",{"promotions":739},[740,754,765],{"id":741,"categories":742,"header":744,"text":745,"button":746,"image":751},"ai-modernization",[743],"ai-ml","Is AI achieving its promise at scale?","Quiz will take 5 minutes or less",{"text":747,"config":748},"Get your AI maturity score",{"href":749,"dataGaName":750,"dataGaLocation":237},"/assessments/ai-modernization-assessment/","modernization assessment",{"config":752},{"src":753},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138786/qix0m7kwnd8x2fh1zq49.png",{"id":755,"categories":756,"header":757,"text":745,"button":758,"image":762},"devops-modernization",[734,552],"Are you just managing tools or shipping innovation?",{"text":759,"config":760},"Get your DevOps maturity score",{"href":761,"dataGaName":750,"dataGaLocation":237},"/assessments/devops-modernization-assessment/",{"config":763},{"src":764},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138785/eg818fmakweyuznttgid.png",{"id":766,"categories":767,"header":769,"text":745,"button":770,"image":774},"security-modernization",[768],"security","Are you trading speed for security?",{"text":771,"config":772},"Get your security maturity score",{"href":773,"dataGaName":750,"dataGaLocation":237},"/assessments/security-modernization-assessment/",{"config":775},{"src":776},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138786/p4pbqd9nnjejg5ds6mdk.png",{"header":778,"blurb":779,"button":780,"secondaryButton":785},"Start building faster today","See what your team can do with the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps.\n",{"text":781,"config":782},"Get your free trial",{"href":783,"dataGaName":44,"dataGaLocation":784},"https://gitlab.com/-/trial_registrations/new?glm_content=default-saas-trial&glm_source=about.gitlab.com/","feature",{"text":488,"config":786},{"href":48,"dataGaName":49,"dataGaLocation":784},1772652087136]
