With GitLab you can go all the way from chatting about an idea to measuring it in production without spending time on configuring a bunch of tools. The version control part of GitLab is now used by 2/3 of the market that self host Git. The continuous integration (CI) part of GitLab is now the most popular next generation CI system. Today we introduce the future direction of GitLab: Auto DevOps.\n\n\u003C!-- more -->\n\nWhen we [announced our master plan in September of 2016](/blog/gitlab-master-plan/), we gave our vision for a tool that changes the way developers create software. Before the end of 2016 we [completed the master plan](/releases/2016/12/22/gitlab-8-15-released/) and introduced Auto Deploy. Auto Deploy evolved and sparked a vision for a more integrated DevOps experience. Today we have a video to present that vision of Auto DevOps.\n\n## GitLab has 2/3 market share in the self-managed Git market\n\nWith more than 100,000 organizations self-hosting GitLab, we have the largest share of companies who choose to host their own code. We’re estimated to have two-thirds of the single tenant market. When [Bitrise surveyed](http://blog.bitrise.io/2017/01/27/state-of-app-development-in-2016.html#self-hosted) ten thousand developers who build apps regularly on their platform, they found that 67 percent of self-managed apps prefer GitLab’s on-premise solution.\n\n![Image via Bitrise blog](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/bitrise-self-hosted-chart.png){: .shadow}\u003Cbr>\n\nSimilarly, in their survey of roughly one thousand development teams, [BuddyBuild found](https://www.buddybuild.com/blog/source-code-hosting#selfhosted) that 79% of mobile developers who host their own code have chosen GitLab:\n\n![Image via buddybuild blog](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/buddybuild-self-hosted-chart.png){: .shadow}\u003Cbr>\n\nIn their articles, both Bitrise and BuddyBuild note that few organizations use self-managed instances. We think there is a selection effect since both of them are SaaS-only offerings. Based on our experience, in large organizations (over 750 people), it is still more common to self host your Git server (frequently on a cloud service like AWS or GCP) than to use a SaaS service.\n\n## GitLab CI is the most popular next-generation CI system\n\nOur commitment to seamless integration extends to CI. Integrated [CI/CD](/topics/ci-cd/) is both more time and resource efficient than a set of distinct tools, and allows developers greater control over their build pipeline, so they can spot issues early and address them at a relatively low cost. Tighter integration between different stages of the development process makes it easier to cross-reference code, tests, and deployments while discussing them, allowing you to see the full context and iterate much more rapidly. We've heard from customers like [Ticketmaster](/blog/continuous-integration-ticketmaster/) that adopting GitLab CI can transform the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), in their case helping the Ticketmaster mobile development team deliver on the longstanding goal of weekly releases. As more and more companies look to embrace CI as part of their development methodology, having CI fully integrated into their overall SDLC solution will ensure these companies are able to realize the full potential of CI. You can read more about the benefits of integrated CI in our white paper, [Scaling Continuous Integration](http://get.gitlab.com/scaled-ci-cd/).\n\nIn his post on [building Heroku CI](https://blog.heroku.com/building-tools-for-developers-heroku-ci), Heroku’s Ike DeLorenzo noted that GitLab CI is “clearly the biggest mover in activity on Stack Overflow,” with more popularity than both Travis CI and CircleCI:\n\n![Image via Heroku blog](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/heroku-questions-chart.png){: .shadow}\u003Cbr>\n\nWhile the use of Jenkins for CI is still higher than any other solution, we see more and more organizations moving from Jenkins, because upgrading their Jenkins server is a brittle process. The last two big things that GitLab CI lacked were scheduled builds (contributed to [GitLab 9.2](/releases/2017/05/22/gitlab-9-2-released/)) and cross-project builds (released in [GitLab 9.3 on June 22](/releases/2017/06/22/gitlab-9-3-released/)).\n\n## Auto DevOps is next\n\nWe want to [deliver more of idea to production](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/32639) and continue to make the flow even better. [Our direction](/direction/#ci--cd) is to fully automate DevOps with the concept of [Auto DevOps](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/2517). In a cloud-native world, developers have many projects, and it doesn't make sense to have to set up their tools for every one of them. With help from the wider community we'll ensure that everything works out of the box, from code quality metrics to Review Apps, and from metrics to autoscaling.\n\nWatch our Head of Product Mark Pundsack demonstrate our Auto DevOps vision, including Auto Create, Auto Build, Auto CI, Auto Deploy, Auto Code Quality, and Auto Review Apps:\n\n\u003Ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/KGrJguM361c?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen>\u003C/iframe>\n\nWe couldn't have built GitLab into the tool and company it is today without the contributions of the wider community, and the feedback from our customers. We're excited to see what you build with GitLab.\n\nHave thoughts about Auto DevOps? Comment on this blog post or on [the issue for Auto DevOps](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/2517).

Here are the steps we took to turn that experience around.",[713],"Ashley Knobloch","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749682884/Blog/Hero%20Images/navigation.jpg","2023-08-15","\nGitLab navigation was complex and confusing - that was the message we received from our users through issues and other feedback channels. Initially, to address these concerns, we conducted research around proposed solutions, but quickly found they wouldn't help users achieve their goals well enough to warrant implementing them. In the process of learning what wasn't working and what wouldn't work, we still didn't have clarity around *why* the navigation wasn't working. This article chronicles our journey to finding that clarity and developing navigation that is easier to use and better suited to our users' needs.\n\n## Our approach\nAs a first step, we reviewed past research and user feedback to ensure we had a solid understanding of what we had done and learned already. We found that we still needed more insight into why proposed changes weren’t receiving enough positive feedback to implement them.\n\nOur goals were straightforward:\n- understand what users are doing in GitLab\n- study how they navigate the platform\n- learn why they need certain navigation elements\n\nOur perspective shifted from validating proposed solutions to going back to revalidate the problems that exist with our navigation experience. Our hypothesis was that with a deeper understanding of our users’ behavior and mental models for how they navigate around GitLab, we could develop concepts to better match their needs and improve their overall experience.\n\nThe scope of features in GitLab and the number of user personas across GitLab made this challenging. We have [16 personas](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/personas/#user-personas) to represent different types of users, all with unique goals and techniques to achieve those goals. We focused our efforts on a subset of those personas that best represented usage across GitLab to ensure a holistic understanding of different user needs. We wanted to learn how navigation among different personas was similar and where it differed, what worked well with the current navigation, and what challenges users faced.\n\n## Studying key persona cohorts\nWe conducted [diary studies](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/ux-research/diary-studies/) with cohorts of our key personas to learn what their primary tasks and workflows were at a deeper level. This provided us with many real-world examples of how they navigate to their tasks and why. We also learned what worked well with their current workflows, what pain points existed, and what workarounds were being used (such as creating browser bookmarks, typing in the URL to pull browser history, or keeping a bunch of browser tabs open) to streamline their tasks in GitLab.\n\nWe learned that for some users, many of their primary tasks don’t require much navigation within GitLab because they use outside tools that link into GitLab through notifications (e.g., Slack and email) or use direct links through other tools. We also learned that often users’ work is quite scoped in GitLab, and they would like easier access to some of their core features without having to wade through all of the other features they don’t use. This illuminated some unmet needs that would improve their workflows, such as having the ability to customize navigation to access things important to them more quickly and streamline their path to relevant projects.\n\nLearning more about our users from a foundational perspective ensured that we had a solid base to build upon when considering changes to the navigation.\n\n## Anchoring to a North Star\nTo anchor the redesign process in user problems more broadly, a review of past feedback was analyzed that revealed three overarching themes with navigation-related feedback. These themes helped to guide the process and to remind us of the key problems we were trying to solve:\n- minimize feeling overwhelmed (ability to customize left sidebar)\n- orient users across the platform (differentiating groups and projects)\n- pick up where you left off (switching contexts)\n\nThe team continually mapped back design concepts to these themes to ensure potential solutions were rooted in user problems.\n\n## Evaluating and iterating\nNext, several navigation design concepts were developed and shared with users for feedback. Multiple rounds of [solution validation testing](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/ux-research/solution-validation-and-methods/) were conducted with our key personas to determine which design concepts to move forward with. The testing revealed how users felt about each design and also how well each design supported users completing core tasks. We identified a final concept that supported mature and new GitLab users with common workflows.\n\n## Understanding mental models for sidebar organization\nWe wanted to revisit our groupings in the left sidebar because we’ve heard over time that the organization can be confusing and unintuitive, especially some categories such as Operations. We needed to understand our users’ mental models for how they would group these items, and why. Learning the thought processes behind their organization was critical for us to know what changes to make that would align with user expectations.\n\nWe ran facilitated [card sort](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/ux-research/mental-modeling/#card-sorting) studies with our key personas to understand how they would group items in the left sidebar, and why. This helped us learn some areas that could benefit from readjusting, such as the Manage and Operate categories. We learned that users most often preferred to have analytics items together, for example, which is reflected in the Analyze tab. This insight, combined with patterns in analytics data, informed changes to the groupings in the left sidebar to better support workflows.\n\n## Launching and learning\nPrior to launching to external users, the new navigation was released to internal team members and we collected [feedback](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/403059) to help iterate and improve the experience.\n\nNext, we launched the new navigation to external users as a toggle that could be turned on optionally. During this initial launch, a [longitudinal study](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/ux-research/longitudinal-studies/) was conducted with a sample of GitLab users to learn how they experienced the change in the context of their real work. Over time, the study would provide insight into adoption among the entire user base.\n\nWe interviewed users prior to the monthlong study to learn more about their experience with the existing navigation. Then, they began using the new navigation while completing surveys and participating in interviews at checkpoints in the beginning, middle, and end of the month. This enabled us to capture their initial impressions of the new navigation, what they liked/disliked, how the new experience compared to the previous one, and if their sentiment changed over the course of the month as they continued to use the new navigation.\n\nUsers in this study found the new navigation to be an improvement from the previous one, and most preferred its features, including:\n- the ability to pin items streamlined common workflows\n- the new task-based sidebar categories in the sidebar, which they said felt more approachable, especially for newer users\n- the new navigation changes, which they said weren’t too overwhelming and felt familiar\n\nWe also learned about some opportunities to iterate and improve the new experience. For instance, some users pointed out:\n- the inability to pin entire Projects, Groups, or specific pages makes it difficult to streamline other workflows\n- some users unpin items accidentally\n- the overall lack of color can cause some features to blend in or be missed\n- it's not always easy to know what’s new in GitLab\n\n## What’s next: Iterate, listen, and iterate again\nTo capture large-scale feedback on navigation over time, we launched a new navigation-focused quarterly survey in Q1 (February) of this year. This first quarter data established a baseline of our old navigation, and beginning in Q2 (May), we began collecting data on the new navigation experience. We will monitor this closely, and look for themes to help us learn what is working well and what may need further iteration.\n\nThis survey, along with our longitudinal study feedback and various other user feedback sources, will provide insights to help prioritize iterative improvements to the new navigation experience.

As the software development industry is busy evolving its understanding of _automating early and often_ in the presence of new AI capabilities, we have been focused on feature work. However, it's equally important to make sure we are adapting our UI to match up to the experience and addressing, where necessary, the misalignment between the two.\n\nIn a scaling product, where issues are competing to be prioritized, it might feel convenient to tackle the next feature issue as opposed to focusing on small visual design improvements. Advocating for the value that a small visual design change in isolation brings to the product is never easy for all the practical reasons, and this is where [the \"Beautifying our UI\" initiative](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/ux/product-design/#beautifying-our-ui) becomes useful at GitLab. It allows a product designer and a frontend engineer to voluntarily pair up, like we did, and make self-directed improvements to the usability of GitLab.\n\nWe collaborated on many pipeline-related features in the past three years. As our responsibilities pulled us in different directions, we had to put many of our aspirational plans for improving the presentation of CI/CD features in GitLab on hold in favor of other more important things.\n\nHowever, once those were addressed, we decided to volunteer for a session of Beautifying our UI in the 16.1 milestone. To make the most of a single milestone, we began preparing a couple months in advance, soliciting ideas from team members and getting the design proposals ready in [an issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/394768/). After a quick prioritization exercise to understand which of the suggested improvements would be most meaningful to our users, we made a number of contributions to the product.\n\nHere are some of those contributions:\n\n### Improvement to pipeline detail page\nIn the process of troubleshooting a failing pipeline, users often have to visit their detail page for better insight into what's causing the failure. The top of the page previously had a table with all the metadata around that pipeline. Over the years, a lot of information was added to this table but the layout was never optimized to accommodate that information, which in return impacted the usability of the page. The page headers were also very different from other examples found in GitLab.\n\nBy critically looking at every piece of information displayed on the page, we made informed decisions using the qualitative insights and the usage data at hand to completely redesign the pipeline header.\n\n![image of pipeline detail page before](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/Beautifying-of-our-ui-16-1/pipeline-detail-before.png)\nBefore\n\n\n![image of pipeline detail page after making changes](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/Beautifying-of-our-ui-16-1/pipeline-detail-after.png)\nAfter\n\n\nThis work was substantial and while we did our best to avoid any negative impact to our users, we realize there might be a few issues. Please share your comments in this [feedback issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/414756) about the redesign and we'll prioritize addressing them.\n\nRedesigning the pipeline header came with a few technical challenges because a lot of the code was a mix between HAML and Vue. We had to slowly refactor the pipeline header over to Vue/GraphQL to allow our code to be more performant and maintainable. It’s pretty much like building a completely new feature — we had to get creative with passing data to the Vue app from Rails.\n\n### Harmonizing badges and link styles on pipeline list view\nThe pipeline index page (list view) is one of the most visited pages in GitLab because users need to make sure any failing pipelines are identified quickly for troubleshooting. Since there's a lot going on on this page, it is critical that the UI leads users' attention to the right areas. Previously, almost every link presented in the pipeline column had a different visual treatment, which made the page visually noisy and harmed the usability and scannability of the information. Our goal was to remove anything that isn't required and harmonize the visual language so it is easy for CI/CD users to perform their jobs effectively.\n\n![image of pipeline detail page before](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/Beautifying-of-our-ui-16-1/pipeline-index-page-before.png)\nBefore\n\n\n\n![image of pipeline detail page after making changes](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/Beautifying-of-our-ui-16-1/pipeline-index-page-after.png)\nAfter\n\n\n### Linking runner number to runner admin page\nTo allow easy management of runners across an instance, we've now provided easy access to the runner admin page right from the job detail page. Previously a static test, now the runner number can directly take users with the runner admin page where they can make changes to the specific runner's configuration.\n\n![image of cancel pipeline label](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/Beautifying-of-our-ui-16-1/runner-link-from-job-logs.png)\nLinking runner admin page from job logs page\n\n\n### Improving tooltips and button text\nThe tooltips on the jobs list view were using native browser tooltips. We've changed those to use a design-system-compliant tooltip for consistency and better readability.\n\nWe gathered some useful feedback on the usability of the button labels and took this as an opportunity to improve a few of them. Here's one example where we changed the label text for the button for canceling a running pipeline from **Cancel running** to **Cancel pipeline** and added an appropriate tooltip to clearly communicate the action.\n\n![image of cancel pipeline label](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/Beautifying-of-our-ui-16-1/cancel-pipeline-label.png)\nButton with new label text\n\n\n## More to come\nWe are not stopping with this list! We will continue our partnership to bring in more visual and usability improvements to the continuous integration area in the coming months.

It helps them keep up with competitors, land and keep more customers, improve employee satisfaction, and much more. But maintaining that velocity requires investment in processes and technologies that help DevSecOps teams deliver, secure, and deploy software faster without compromising quality.\n\nIn our [2023 Global DevSecOps Survey](https://about.gitlab.com/developer-survey/) we asked more than 5,000 development, security, and operations professionals about everything from deployment frequency to the practices teams have adopted – all to learn what the most agile and efficient organizations have in common. One respondent, a director of IT security in the retail sector, summed up the challenge as follows: “Software customers are increasingly vocal and demanding, expecting faster releases and greater customizability. Developers will need to keep up with these demands while still maintaining stability and usability.”\n\nSo what’s helping organizations be more productive and efficient? Here are four of the best practices that, according to the survey, help organizations release software faster and deploy more frequently:\n\n## 1. Running applications in the cloud\nOne of the benefits people commonly attribute to deploying to the cloud is increased development speed. As it turns out, this year’s survey shows there’s some serious truth to that. Respondents with at least a quarter of their applications in the cloud were 2.2 times more likely to be releasing software faster than they were a year ago — and respondents with at least half of their applications in the cloud were 4.2 times more likely to deploy to production multiple times per day.\n\nSeveral respondents commented on the value of the cloud while also acknowledging the complexities cloud computing can bring to software development. An IT operations manager in the industrial manufacturing sector shared that “developing software that is designed for the cloud-native environment” is one of the top challenges facing software development this year. Likewise, an IT operations manager in the telecommunications sector said: “With the increase in the use of cloud computing and IoT devices, there is a greater need for secure coding practices to protect sensitive data from cyber attacks.” As organizations move to a cloud-first model for software development, they will need to adopt technologies that allow them to build natively in the cloud while keeping security top of mind throughout the development process.\n\n## 2. BizDevOps\nThough DevOps and DevSecOps mostly steal the show in terms of methodologies, some organizations go a step further and [practice BizDevOps](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/a-snapshot-of-modern-devops-practices-today/) — that is, incorporating business teams alongside development, security, and operations teams. An IT operations manager in the software sector emphasized the importance of collaboration with the business, sharing that “as software projects become larger and more complex, developers will need to work closely with other team members, including designers, testers, project managers, and business stakeholders.” This approach appears to be paying off for some: Respondents whose organizations practice BizDevOps were 1.4 times more likely to be releasing software faster than they were a year ago.\n\n## 3. CI/CD\nIt’s not surprising that automating the software development lifecycle with [CI/CD](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/) would help teams release software faster and more efficiently; however, it’s nice to see confirmation and put some numbers to the difference it can make. The survey shows that respondents [practicing CI/CD](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/how-to-keep-up-with-ci-cd-best-practices/) were twice as likely to deploy multiple times per day and 1.2 times more likely to release software faster than they did a year ago.\n\nDespite the value of CI/CD for driving efficiency, respondents also identified challenges. For instance, an IT operations associate in the aerospace/defense sector pointed to “management that doesn't understand CI/CD at all” as a blocker to more efficient software development. Meanwhile, a software development intern in the biotech sector shared that “tools to automate CI/CD, together with code editors, APM software, and defect trackers, can help with a faster and quality development cycle,” but “companies are hesitant to spend on tools that can help increase their developers’ productivity.” These responses underscore the value of investing in tools that unify CI/CD with other DevSecOps practices — such as incorporating security early in the development process and creating tighter feedback loops — to help organizations break down development silos.\n\n## 4. DORA and other metrics\nOrganizations that [make a conscious effort to track key development metrics](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/how-zoopla-uses-dora-metrics-and-your-team-can-too/) are more likely to improve them, according to the survey. This makes sense because by virtue of an organization choosing to track a metric, they’re signaling to their teams that it’s important, likely reminding them of whether the metric is improving (or not) periodically, and quite possibly prioritizing initiatives aimed at improving those metrics. We found that respondents whose organizations track their [DORA metrics](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/analytics/dora_metrics.html) and other similar metrics were 1.4 times more likely to deploy multiple times per day.\n\n## A deeper dive on productivity and efficiency\n\nFor a deeper look into release velocity and deployment frequency, and all the practices that made respondents more likely to release software faster and deploy multiple times per day, check out our [2023 DevSecOps Report: Productivity & Efficiency Within Reach](https://about.gitlab.com/developer-survey/).\n\nThe report also digs into two other key factors that can have a big impact on productivity and efficiency: how long it takes to onboard new developers and how difficult or easy it is for organizations to attract, hire, and retain developers. We’ll show you where things stand and the practices that made respondents more likely to be successful.\n\n_[Read the highlights from “Security Without Sacrifices,” the first report in our 2023 Global DevSecOps Report series.](/blog/gitlab-survey-highlights-wins-challenges-as-orgs-adopt-devsecops/)_\n",[746,26,562,554],"developer survey",{"slug":748,"featured":12,"template":13},"best-practices-leading-orgs-to-release-software-faster",{"promotions":750},[751,765,777],{"id":752,"categories":753,"header":755,"text":756,"button":757,"image":762},"ai-modernization",[754],"ai-ml","Is AI achieving its promise at scale?","Quiz will take 5 minutes or less",{"text":758,"config":759},"Get your AI maturity score",{"href":760,"dataGaName":761,"dataGaLocation":244},"/assessments/ai-modernization-assessment/","modernization assessment",{"config":763},{"src":764},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138786/qix0m7kwnd8x2fh1zq49.png",{"id":766,"categories":767,"header":769,"text":756,"button":770,"image":774},"devops-modernization",[768,557],"product","Are you just managing tools or shipping innovation?",{"text":771,"config":772},"Get your DevOps maturity score",{"href":773,"dataGaName":761,"dataGaLocation":244},"/assessments/devops-modernization-assessment/",{"config":775},{"src":776},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138785/eg818fmakweyuznttgid.png",{"id":778,"categories":779,"header":781,"text":756,"button":782,"image":786},"security-modernization",[780],"security","Are you trading speed for security?",{"text":783,"config":784},"Get your security maturity score",{"href":785,"dataGaName":761,"dataGaLocation":244},"/assessments/security-modernization-assessment/",{"config":787},{"src":788},"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772138786/p4pbqd9nnjejg5ds6mdk.png",{"header":790,"blurb":791,"button":792,"secondaryButton":797},"Start building faster today","See what your team can do with the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps.\n",{"text":793,"config":794},"Get your free trial",{"href":795,"dataGaName":52,"dataGaLocation":796},"https://gitlab.com/-/trial_registrations/new?glm_content=default-saas-trial&glm_source=about.gitlab.com/","feature",{"text":496,"config":798},{"href":56,"dataGaName":57,"dataGaLocation":796},1772652088246]
