Why GitLab:

GitLab is the first application built to cover all stages of the DevOps cycle. This means product, development, QA, and Ops teams can all work together concurrently, making the software development lifecycle three times faster.

Built-in continuous integration and continuous delivery features make it seamless to go from a code change to a running pipeline. On top of that, GitLab has project management, issue tracking, and free private repository hosting to make it easier to plan and manage your projects. Because GitLab is open, it has great integrations with many other tools, including container orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
