GTLB

GitLab Inc. operates a comprehensive DevSecOps platform that enables organizations to develop, secure, and operate software in a single application. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the company was founded in 2014 and maintains a fully remote workforce of approximately 2,000 employees across more than 65 countries. GitLab's cloud-native platform provides source code management, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), security testing, and collaboration tools that span the entire software development lifecycle. The company serves over 30 million registered users and more than 50% of Fortune 100 companies, competing primarily with GitHub (owned by Microsoft), Atlassian, and various point solutions. GitLab operates on a dual model, offering both a free open-source community edition and paid subscription tiers for enterprises requiring advanced features and support. The platform generates revenue through self-managed and software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscriptions, with annual recurring revenue exceeding $500 million as of fiscal year 2024. Recent strategic initiatives include enhanced artificial intelligence capabilities for code suggestions and vulnerability detection, expanded partnership integrations with major cloud providers, and continued investment in security automation features. The company went public on NASDAQ in October 2021 under the ticker GTLB. GitLab differentiates itself through its all-in-one approach, eliminating the need for customers to integrate multiple disparate tools across their development workflows.
