Till now we have been using [Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/) for almost every single task that we have automated. With [Gitlab CI](https://about.gitlab.com/features/gitlab-ci-cd/) on the market, we get quite a number of new possibilities.
|
|
|
|
Some of the highlights are:
|
|
|
|
* Multi-platform: you can execute builds on Unix, Windows, OSX, and any other platform that supports Go.
|
|
* Multi-language: build scripts are command line driven and work with Java, PHP, Ruby, C, and any other language.
|
|
* Pipeline: you can define multiple jobs per stage and you can trigger other builds.
|
|
* Autoscaling: you can automatically spin up and down VM's to make sure your builds get processed immediately and minimize costs.
|
|
* Build artifacts: you can upload binaries and other build artifacts to GitLab and browse and download them.
|
|
* Docker support: you can use custom Docker images, spin up services as part of testing, build new Docker images, even run on Kubernetes.
