tremendous opportunity for impact, look no further than [security of your software supply chain](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-software-supply-chain-security/). \n\n\"Software supply chain security practices, embodied as the [SLSA](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/achieve-slsa-level-2-compliance-with-gitlab/) or [SSDF](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/comply-with-nist-secure-supply-chain-framework-with-gitlab/) frameworks, are already seeing modest adoption but are not seeing universal adoption yet. There is still a lot of room for improvement there,\" said Todd Kuleza, a member of Google Cloud's DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team and a senior user experience (UX) researcher at Google Cloud.\n\nKuleza, a co-author of the DORA team's [2022 State of DevOps Report](https://cloud.google.com/devops/state-of-devops/), recently joined GitLab for [a webcast](https://learn.gitlab.com/diy-devops/stateofdevops2022) to discuss software supply chain security adoption, including:\n- Why teams choose CI/CD and other modern development processes to improve their security posture\n- How automated security checks within integration and deployment help developers own security processes\n- How to establish team security practices to reduce developer burnout\n\n> [Listen to the full webcast](https://learn.gitlab.com/diy-devops/stateofdevops2022) to learn how to model your organization's security practices around the DevSecOps capabilities of high-performing teams.\n\nThe [DORA metrics](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/how-the-dora-metrics-can-help-devops-team-performance/) have become central to how we understand software delivery velocity and team performance. They have helped organizations transition to a data-driven approach for software delivery, inline with business goals.\n\n## Securing the software supply chain\n\nFrom our own [GitLab 2022 Global DevSecOps Survey](https://about.gitlab.com/developer-survey/previous/2022/), we learned that more than 50% of developers are \"fully responsible\" for security in their organizations. Meanwhile, the DORA team found that the greatest predictor for security practices is cultural, not technical: \"High-trust, low-blame cultures focused on performance are more likely to have above average adoption of emerging security practices,\" according to their report.\n\nThe DORA report also states that organizations with low levels of security practices have 1.4x greater odds of having high levels of burnout than teams with high levels of security.\n\nAll told, this data demonstrates that security culture and technology together have to be a primary focus for DevSecOps teams going forward.\n\nLearn more about the DORA metrics:\n\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lM_FbVYuN8s\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n","security",[682,680,9],"DevOps",{"slug":684,"featured":6,"template":685},"accelerate-state-of-devops-report-key-takeaways","BlogPost","content:en-us:blog:accelerate-state-of-devops-report-key-takeaways.yml","Accelerate State Of Devops Report Key Takeaways","en-us/blog/accelerate-state-of-devops-report-key-takeaways.yml","en-us/blog/accelerate-state-of-devops-report-key-takeaways",{"_path":691,"_dir":243,"_draft":6,"_partial":6,"_locale":7,"seo":692,"content":698,"config":708,"_id":710,"_type":13,"title":711,"_source":15,"_file":712,"_stem":713,"_extension":18},"/en-us/blog/automate-to-accelerate-webcast-recap",{"title":693,"description":694,"ogTitle":693,"ogDescription":694,"noIndex":6,"ogImage":695,"ogUrl":696,"ogSiteName":672,"ogType":673,"canonicalUrls":696,"schema":697},"Testing & release automation: Accelerate development","If you’re not using automated testing, your competitors almost certainly are – catch up on our recent webcast to get started.","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749671288/Blog/Hero%20Images/gitlab-live-event.png","https://about.gitlab.com/blog/automate-to-accelerate-webcast-recap","\n                        {\n        \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n        \"@type\": \"Article\",\n        \"headline\": \"Automate to accelerate: What you need to know about test and release automation\",\n        \"author\": [{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Rebecca Dodd\"}],\n        \"datePublished\": \"2017-12-08\",\n      }",{"title":699,"description":694,"authors":700,"heroImage":695,"date":702,"body":703,"category":704,"tags":705},"Automate to accelerate: What you need to know about test and release automation",[701],"Rebecca Dodd","2017-12-08","\n\nBuild better software, faster, with test and release automation.

You have different tools for planning, code creation, CI and security testing, packaging, release and deploy, configuration management, and monitoring.\n\nBut administrating all these products and connecting them together is complex. For example, your CI needs to talk to your version control, your code review, your security testing, your container registry, and your configuration management. The permutations are staggering, and it’s not just a one-time configuration – each new project needs to reconnect all these pieces together.\n\nThat's the DevOps tax: time spent on integrating and maintaining complicated toolchains, limiting your efficiency.\n\n## What's in the webcast\n\nBefore we dive into the DevOps tax and how to avoid it, we start by looking at digital transformation and current trends in DevOps, leading up to the DevOps tax, and then offering some best practices for reducing friction.\n\n## Watch the recording\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/iIElDMEC3U0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\n## Key takeaways\n\n### The digital transformation imperative\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"panel panel-default twitter-block\"> \u003Ca class=\"twitter-block-link panel-body\" href=\"http://twitter.com/share?text=%22When we think about digital transformation, we think about and talk about delivering value to your customer quickly, repeatedly, and with high quality%22 – guest @forrester via @GitLab webinar; url=/2018/03/21/avoiding-devops-tax-webcast/;hashtags=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tweet!\"> \u003Cspan class=\"twitter-text pull-left\"> \"When we think about digital transformation, we think about and talk about delivering value to your customer quickly, repeatedly, and with high quality\" – guest @forrester via @GitLab webinar\u003C/span> \u003Cspan class=\"click-to-tweet\"> Click to tweet! \u003Ci class=\"fab fa-twitter\">\u003C/i> \u003C/span> \u003C/a> \u003C/div>\n\n#### Customer experience is key\n\n>The people with the bad customer experience, their stock is lagging those companies that have an excellent customer experience.

Automating tests and building confidence in your code will pay dividends many times over.\n- If you already got CI, then move on to continuous delivery. Automate deployments and make them less scary. If you already started the DevOps transformation, then embrace the culture.

Among those using serverless, 80% use a hosted platform vs. 20% who use installable software. Of the 80% using a hosted platform, the top tool is AWS Lambda (53%).\n\nAs organizations continue to explore the power and scalability of serverless computing, AWS Lambda remains a large part of the conversation. On April 9, AWS and GitLab hosted a serverless webcast to demonstrate how teams can use [GitLab CI/CD](/topics/ci-cd/) and the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) to build, test, and deploy Lambda applications. For the serverless webcast, we showed attendees how to:\n\n*   Use and install the AWS SAM CLI\n*   Create a SAM application including a Lambda function and API\n*   Build, test, and deploy the application using GitLab CI/CD\n\nWhether you’re an AWS customer, a serverless newbie, or wanting to explore new ways to utilize GitLab CI/CD, this webcast had something for everyone. We’ve compiled some highlights from the discussion and a link to the on-demand webcast.\n\n{::options parse_block_html=\"true\" /}\n\n\u003Ci class=\"fab fa-gitlab\" style=\"color:rgb(107,79,187); font-size:.85em\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u003C/i>&nbsp;&nbsp;\nWatch the webcast with AWS and GitLab to learn all about serverless - [Tune in here](/webcast/aws-gitlab-serverless/)!\n&nbsp;&nbsp;\u003Ci class=\"fab fa-gitlab\" style=\"color:rgb(107,79,187); font-size:.85em\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u003C/i>\n{: .alert .alert-webcast}\n\n## What is the Serverless Application Model (SAM)?\n\nTooling and workflows are the biggest roadblocks to adopting serverless. Organizations love the scalability and automation of serverless but don’t believe that they have the tools to implement it effectively. In this webcast, we showed how teams can seamlessly use SAM with GitLab CI/CD for their serverless application development.\n\n[AWS SAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/what-is-sam.html) is an open source framework for building serverless applications on AWS. It can be considered an extension to CloudFormation that makes it easier to define and deploy AWS resources – such as Lambda functions, API Gateway APIs and DynamoDB tables – commonly used in serverless applications.\n\nIn addition to its templating capabilities, SAM also includes a CLI for testing and deployment allows teams to define the resources they need as code. So that includes the serverless functions, but can also include any of the rest of the AWS suite of tools. SAM works by taking all of those things and creates a cloud formation stack from a SAM template. Next it automatically deploys those various functions and other AWS components and gets the IAM configured correctly between all of them so that an application can run not only Lambda functions, but also leverage the rest of the AWS stack to create an entire system and application.\n\n\n## Why is SAM a great tool for enterprise teams?\n\nSenior developer evangelist at GitLab, [Brendan O’Leary](/company/team/#brendan), is a Node.js developer at heart. \"For better or worse,\" he laughs. When putting together the presentation, he noted that SAM offered templates not only in Python but in Node.js as well. \"I think applies directly to the enterprise because those teams are going to be diverse. They're going to have different needs, they're going to choose the language that best fits those needs. It was great to have this starter template that I could start with Node.js 12X to really get started on coding in a comfortable environment for me.\"\n\nThe SAM templates can also be an asset for enterprise teams because they streamline a lot of the backend work. In the project presented during the webcast, we were able to start from a SAM template to orchestrate the IAM permissions we needed instead of coding all of the cloud formation ourselves. For a large or distributed team, this makes SAM a great out-of-the-box tool for serverless applications.\n\n\n## The benefits of going serverless\n\nRam Dileepan, solutions architect at AWS, highlighted this quote from AWS CTO Werner Vogels: No server is easier to manage than no server at all. \"The main goal of modern application development is to automate and abstract as much as possible from the customer. So what we do as an AWS cloud, we abstract a lot of the details from developers so they can actually focus on building applications instead of working with infrastructure.\"\n\nFor teams looking to incorporate serverless, it can provide a number of benefits:\n\n*   Scalable\n*   Pay for what you use\n*   Availability\n\n\n## Serverless and microservices best practices\n\nWhile serverless means that, from the developer perspective, servers are not actively managed, there is still work to do. When you design the application, you have to design how are you going to monitor it and what you are going to monitor. \"Even when you go to serverless, you can actually just follow the standard development best practices,\" says Ram. Here he presented his three serverless/microservices best practices:\n\n*   Treat your infrastructure the way you treat your code\n*   Set up an automated integration and deployment pipeline\n*   Build with monitoring and observability from day one\n\nIn addition to going over the SAM CLI and creating a GitLab CI/CD pipeline, Brendan O’Leary and Ram Dileepan also fielded a variety of questions in the live Q&A.

So how do you combat this problem?\n\n\u003C!-- more -->\n\nIn the past, the software development process has followed a linear path, with teams doing their work and then handing off responsibility for a project to whoever takes on the next stage, giving little (if any!) thought to how others will manage when their turn comes. This creates a disconnect between the team making the decisions and the team executing them, which can lead to mismanaged expectations and delayed releases.\n\n## What are the biggest obstacles to getting work done?\n\nIn our [Global Developer Survey](https://page.gitlab.com/2016-developer-survey_2016-developer-survey.html), we asked developers what prevents them from meeting deadlines, and the responses were a combination of the obvious: unnecessary meetings (16.25 percent) and being forced to use inappropriate or outdated tools (6.16 percent); as well as more concerning, systemic issues, which point toward the breakdown in communication between developers and product owners.\n\nUnclear direction came in tops with over 47 percent and unrealistic deadlines followed with 21.29 percent. These issues also manifest in [code getting released too early](/blog/why-code-is-released-too-early/). So how do you combat this?\n\n##  Introduce DevOps practices\n\n Adopting elements of the DevOps approach instead, and taking a more collaborative attitude towards setting deadlines and deciding on what will go into the next release means that all participants and stakeholders can weigh in on the decision and flag potential problems or delays.\n\n### Work on smaller releases\n\nWorking more [iteratively](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#iteration) helps to prevent bottlenecks as you approach a deadline, as you're trying to fit less into each release. Stripping a new feature or package down to its smallest components (the Minimum Viable Changes) helps to clarify what exactly you're working on and what the expectations are, so the way forward is clearer to everyone involved.\n\nTo find out more about iteration and Minimum Viable Changes, check out [How to Shorten the Conversation Cycle](/blog/how-to-shorten-conversation-cycle/).\n\n### Create cross-functional teams\n\nWhen teams interact throughout the development process, instead of just handing off to each other, you create a culture in which everyone feels responsible for the final outcome rather than just their portion of a project. From the early planning phases, through development, testing and review, involving the right stakeholders and experts at the right times results in better mutual understanding of different teams' unique motivations and pressures. This helps everyone to take these factors into account when deciding on deadlines or what to include in a release, so the direction is clear and the timeline realistic.\n\n### Encourage collaboration\n\nFor those cross-functional teams to be effective, collaboration is critical. If you've been working in siloed teams without much interaction, this can be a challenge to implement. But making everyone feel comfortable to share their ideas and contribute means you get more diverse perspectives on what you're working on and ensures that you take advantage of every team's expertise and factor in any limitations too.

It's currently the second most upvoted issue for all of GitLab.\n\nNext to being very popular in the design and development world, a dark mode can be incredibly helpful for users with vision impairments. One of our community members posted this comment, that demonstrates very well how valuable it can be to give users the chance to choose between a light and a dark mode:\n\n> It really comes down to website accessibility. I am legally blind and part of my eye condition is something called photophobia (which is poorly named—it's not a \"fear\" of light, it's that direct bright lights, especially sudden direct bright lights, are like having an ice pick shoved into my eyeballs.)\n\nAt GitLab, we believe in small changes and fast iterations. When our Design team was thinking about how we could split this up and tackle it in small steps, we looked for isolated pieces of our UI that we could create a dark mode for, and the feature that stood out was the [Web IDE](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/web_ide/#web-ide).\n\n## What is the Web IDE?\n\nThe Web IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a code editor in the browser that allows you to change multiple files at once. Afterwards, you can commit their changes to a branch and create merge requests to discuss those changes and eventually merge them.\n\n![GitLab Web IDE](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-light-mode-browser.png){: .center}\nThe GitLab Web IDE\n{: .note.text-center}\n\nUsers of the Web IDE find it to be helpful for quickly making small changes or easily viewing their files in a familiar context, similar to their appearance in a local editor.\n\n### Syntax highlighting\n\nAfter deciding the Web IDE would be the first feature of the GitLab user interface (UI) to get a dark mode, we faced one fundamental question: How would the dark mode align with syntax highlighting themes already within GitLab? There are several themes that users may choose to display their repository files, snippets, or other code elements in their preferred way.\n\n![User syntax settings](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-syntax.png){: .center}\nUser syntax highlighting theme settings\n{: .note.text-center}\n\nThe Web IDE exists as a tool within the larger context of GitLab. Similarly, the syntax themes exist within the context of the Web IDE. Our goal was to avoid scenarios where the code area that follows the syntax highlighting theme wouldn't be aligned with the rest of the UI, which could be jarring.\n\nWe made the decision to keep the settings easily consumable, and treat the dark mode for the Web IDE UI as an extension of the dark syntax highlighting theme. From version 13.0 on, you can enable it by selecting the dark syntax highlighting theme, and the rest of the Web IDE will automatically follow. This also gives us the opportunity to later extend other themes and align the rest of the Web IDE UI to their colors.\n\n## The design process\n\n### Light and dark UI vs. themes\n\nInitially, we defined a few concepts to help shape our approach. We refer to light and dark UI in terms of the qualities they have, like brightness, depth, structure, and hierarchy. In GitLab, themes are preferential styles that reside on the UI, and use color to change only the appearance of a few elements.\n\n![UI versus themes](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-ui-vs-themes.png){: .center}\nThe difference between the UI and themes in GitLab\n{: .note.text-center}\n\n### Working in Figma\n\n#### Figma community\n\nAs soon as we wanted to start experimenting with the UI, we noticed first hand that \"Everyone can contribute\" is not only GitLab's core mission, but also an idea that is very much alive in the Figma community. The amazing designers at Microsoft have open-sourced a [design toolkit for Visual Studio Code](https://www.figma.com/community/file/786632241522687494) that allowed us to easily grab the relevant pieces, plug them into our own design file, and manipulate them.\n\n#### Asynchronous feedback\n\nAnother aspect that's deeply embedded in GitLab's ways of working and the way we build our products is asynchronous collaboration. We are the largest all-remote company in the world, and the two designers working on this feature are located in time zones seven hours apart.\n\nUsing Figma to collaborate and give each other feedback on our ideas enabled us to ship this feature with only having to schedule a single meeting, and the rest of the discussions handled via Figma comments. As these discussions were between designers and purely around visual aspects, we kept the discussion inside of Figma instead of using our own [Design Management](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/design_management.html) features, which came into play later during the discussions with the engineer working on this feature. It also allowed us to easily involve a lot of other team members, and get comments from other designers all over the globe.\n\n![A comment thread in Figma](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-async-thread.png){: .center}\nAsync design feedback in Figma\n{: .note.text-center}\n\n### Design challenges\n\nThe overarching design challenge was, and continues to be, understanding how the appearance of elements change as they appear in light vs. dark UI. Generally, structural, container-like UI elements decrease brightness, but content works the opposite and is sometimes nearly inverted. The fundamentals of light, shadow, and depth don't change, but the way the elements leverage them does. Similarly, the principles of content legibility, hierarchy, and contrast don't change, but the content does to uphold those principles.\n\nIn the side-by-side example below, we've compared just a few UI elements to demonstrate how they could change between light and dark UI.\n\n![Comparing light and dark UI in the Web IDE](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-comparison.png){: .center}\nComparing light and dark UI in the Web IDE\n{: .note.text-center}\n\nWhen we map the changes in this small sample, patterns start to emerge. Elements like backgrounds evenly shift darker together to maintain the same sense of depth, while some text content nearly inverts, and the button almost stays the same.\n\n![Colors mapped between light and dark UI](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-mapping-fade.png){: .center}\nMapping element color in light and dark UI\n{: .note.text-center}\n\nAt face value, it can seem as though many elements are inverted, but that's an oversimplification that leads to an interface looking not quite right. Here's how we're thinking about a few of the specific design challenges we encountered.\n\n#### Stateful elements\n\nIn a light UI, we darken element states to increase contrast, and typically do the opposite in a dark UI. This wasn't the case for tabs and similar elements that have backgrounds more closely integrated into other sections of the UI. And while the borders on the buttons got lighter, the background didn't because we needed to maintain text contrast.\n\n![Button and tab states in light and dark UI](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-states.png){: .center}\nComparing element states in light and dark UI\n{: .note.text-center}\n\nThis uncovers nuanced differences in the approach between dark and light UI, and we're still ratifying differences and establishing repeatable patterns. Needless to say each element deserves plenty of attention.\n\n#### Visual hierarchy and depth\n\nAs mentioned above, depth in dark mode was generally approached in the same way as in a light UI. Brighter elements are more forward, and darker ones recede. In the case of tabs and the file tree we are using a different approach and making these areas darker to increase contrast, rather than evenly darkening layers. We're learning that depth and contrast can both be effective tools, but they aren't always used the same in dark and light UI.\n\nA quick note on shadows, they shouldn't be replaced with glows — a completely different effect. Shadows are noticeably less effective in dark mode, so we explored more variance in gray backgrounds for neighboring sections.\n\n#### Graphics and illustration\n\nGraphics created for a light UI can seem garish or out of place in a dark UI. Images should be addressed on a case-by-case basis, but illustrations and icons can be addressed as a whole. We're exploring CSS variables and classes for SVG fill and path colors. One example that we had to solve were pipeline status icons. These exist in a couple of places in our product and initially had a white background. As this makes them stand out too much in dark mode, we had to rewrite their SVG code to get them to be transparent instead.\n\n![Icons with and without background fill changes](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-pipeline-icons.png){: .center}\nEnsuring that graphics, like icons, can be adjusted too\n{: .note.text-center}\n\nWith that in place we could map light and dark palettes. For now we're just ensuring that there aren't backgrounds in SVGs that feel out of place.\n\n#### How to ship in small pieces\n\nOur philosophy is to release changes or features as soon as they can help users. This sometimes leads to us shipping features that are not completely polished, which is in line with this [famous quote by Reid Hoffmann](https://twitter.com/reidhoffman/status/847142924240379904?lang=en), the founder and CEO of LinkedIn:\n\n> If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late.\n\nThe first version of this feature we released had only the code area styled with the dark syntax highlighting theme. Even though it felt a bit out of place, we received good feedback, which was evidence we were headed in the right direction.\n\n![MVC dark mode with light file tree](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-first-version.png){: .center}\nMVC dark mode with light file tree\n{: .note.text-center}\n\nFrom that point on, we sliced the remaining UI into smaller pieces. Every time we finished a piece, we released the newest version to all our users and started working on the next area. This highly iterative approach would not be acceptable in a lot of other companies, but at GitLab we believe in minimal viable changes ([MVC](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#minimal-viable-change-mvc)).\n\nAnother thing we learned was that a dark mode exposed not only structural UI deficiencies, but also inflexible code. Our initial intention was to leave a couple of seldom visited areas unstyled, but we noticed that keeping CSS styles from bleeding over into these areas would cause more problems and effort than fixing it altogether.\n\n#### Effective prototyping\n\nAs demonstrated in the previous paragraphs, one of the toughest challenges when designing a dark mode are elements with multiple states. This is also one of the aspects designers are still struggling with when prototyping, which led to us tackling this problem in a couple of ways:\n\n- Creating a large prototype with many artboards to represent edge cases and states\n- Relying heavily on a well-defined color system\n- Multiple sync calls with an engineer to fix smaller aspects, e.g., animations on the fly\n\nFor the next iteration of the prototype, we are going to investigate whether we can leverage Figma's components in a way that buttons have the same hover/focus/active states on multiple artboards. We have set up a [first small test](https://www.figma.com/proto/SvimjjirW0pkn69TNBztU9/Button-state-example?node-id=1%3A3&scaling=min-zoom) to prove that it would be possible, but haven't used it on a more complex prototype yet.\n\n![Web IDE Figma prototype](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-prototype-lg.png){: .center}\nWeb IDE prototype in Figma to demonstrate states\n{: .note.text-center}\n\n## What we learned so far\n\n- Answering questions for dark mode leads to many questions about why we're doing things a certain way in a light UI. It creates a great circular effect that challenges how we think about the entire UI, which leads to solid convictions.\n- Even a dark mode can be worked on in small iterations. Over the course of this process, we have created dark versions for all Web IDE specific UI elements, but also for dropdowns and modals, which are global elements. This not only makes it easier for us to think about the design, but also about how the code should be structured for a global dark mode.\n- We are clearly standing on the shoulders of giants. Designing and developing this dark mode at such a fast pace was only possible because we had many great in-depth resources about dark mode available to us. The two that stood out the most are [Apple's Human Interface Guidelines](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/visual-design/dark-mode/) and the dark theme section from [Material Design](https://material.io/design/color/dark-theme.html).\n\n![Web IDE dark mode](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/ide-dark-loop.gif){: .center}\nWeb IDE dark mode\n{: .note.text-center}\n\n### Next steps\n\n- For the Web IDE as a feature, we're in the process of making our code more easily themable, so that other syntax highlighting themes can be extended more flexibly.\n- We're also planning to clean up the prototype we created, and either create a Web IDE UI Kit, or integrate it into our Pajamas design system, so that others can easily access, modify, and contribute to it.\n\nLastly, you can contribute too! We would especially love to see contributions to extend the other syntax highlighting themes to the rest of our Web IDE UI.

Below\nare a few of our favorite takeaways.\n\n### Iteration\n\nAt GitLab, [iteration](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#iteration) means making the smallest\nthing possible and getting it out as quickly as possible, helping us reduce the\ncycle time and rapidly get feedback from users so that we can continue to improve\nquickly and efficiently. Planning too far ahead without getting real-world\nfeedback can cause you to build something that doesn't meet user needs.\n\n### UX Research\n\nThe goal of UX research is to understand the needs and concerns of users, often\nby observing how they interact with a product or by gathering data through\nvarious methods. At GitLab, we often use survey research, feasibility testing,\nuser interviews, and card sorting to understand our users. We discuss the\nresults with product managers to help us prioritize feedback and determine the\nnext steps to implement the findings.\n\n### GitLab Design System\n\nOne of the team's major initiatives last year was  the\n[GitLab Design System](https://design.gitlab.com/), which\nincludes content guidelines, usability patterns, foundational styles, and reusable\ncomponents. The team shifted its focus towards system thinking to create\nconsistency throughout the product and predictability across experiences. The UXers\nhave been working closely with our frontend team to implement our system\niteratively.\n\nEvery designer writes usage guidelines during every milestone and\npicks at least one issue within the issue tracker to contribute to the project.\nThe design system is open source, just like the rest of GitLab, so everyone is\nencouraged to question any of the decisions we've made or contribute by making\nthings clearer or adding missing content.\n\n### How you can contribute to GitLab’s UX designs\n\nAs an open source company, we believe in transparency, so we share almost\neverything we do, including source files, artifacts, deliverables, case studies,\n[UX research](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ux-research#research-archive), and\nour findings. Being open source allows the community to learn from us, and for\nus to learn from the community. There are issues that have been\nlabeled '[Accepting merge requests](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&label_name[]=Accepting+merge+requests&label_name[]=UX)'\nand they need some UX work. Most of these are very small issues, making them the\nperfect starting point for first-time contributors. If you have an idea for a UX\nimprovement, we encourage you to create an issue using the feature proposal\ntemplate to describe the problem you're trying to solve and your proposed solution.\n\nOur UX researchers encourage community contributions, so if you're interested\nin exploring a research question, you're welcome to create an issue using a\nsearch proposal template in the\n[UX research project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ux-research#contributing).\nIf you’d like to help shape the future of GitLab, we’d love to invite you to\njoin [GitLab First Look](/community/gitlab-first-look/).\n\nThe UX team is happy to chat with you about your contribution,\nand we'll try to get back to you as soon as we can.\n\n### Join us!\n\nOur UX team is growing, and we'd love to work with you!

About two years ago, [Ask Media](https://www.askmediagroup.com/) was looking for ways to grow the business, draw advertisers, and expand its audience. Routine tasks like onboarding developers or releasing software took too long. The monolithic system that was in place had limited capabilities and added financial burdens for services that went unused. \n\nChenglim Ear, principal software engineer at Ask Media, recently sat down with [Trevor Hansen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/startuptrev), solutions architect at AWS, to discuss how adopting GitLab empowered developers to improve the customer experience, release software quicker, and leverage AWS cloud services. \n \n## Building microservices from monoliths\n\nAsk Media was looking to move away from a monolithic system to [microservices](/topics/microservices/) in order to modernize workflow and improve the overall business process. “We wanted to move over to microservices. We wanted to [leverage Kubernetes](/solutions/kubernetes/). It was a new container world that was shaping. When we looked at GitLab, it was very complete in providing what we needed to be able to build images, to run on containers,” according to Chenglim. “That was a very big deciding factor. GitLab had everything that we needed.” \n\nDevelopers can now break services into multiples and develop them independently, own the code, and have full visibility prior to deployment. “We're making the hidden logic transparent and we enable the parts of the logic to be independently developed in parallel. So you can have developers all working on their own, with different skillsets,” Chenglim says. \n\n## Containers, cost, and scalability\n\n“We needed a system that could handle change. When we look at what we did to speed up development, make it simple and transparent, and control the cost, we see a paradigm shift. GitLab gave us push-button releases. Docker and Kubernetes enabled us to switch to a microservices architecture and AWS enabled auto scaling,” says Chenglim. “On Amazon, we started building Kubernetes clusters and GitLab became our command and control interface.” \n \n Ask Media was looking for a tool that could scale and grow as needed. Cost, speed, and functionality are the tenets that AWS focuses on providing to its customers, according to Hansen. AWS works closely with Ask Media to ensure that the containers in place offer the scalability, flexibility, and timeliness they need. \n\nWith [GitLab and AWS](/partners/technology-partners/aws/), Ask Media developers built out a platform that enables the knowledge from all members of the teams. “With AWS, we wanted a product that was fairly complete and mature. AWS has a lot of history and lots of services. We definitely wanted to be able to leverage those services and to build on a platform that was a solid,” Chenglim says. “We set off to build Kubernetes clusters, right on EC2 instances. We continue to look at opportunities to leverage the resources available through AWS.”\n\nTo learn more about how Ask Media made the transition to cloud native, check out the full [webcast](/webcast/cloud-native-transformation/).\n\nCover image by [Eric Muhr](https://unsplash.com/@ericmuhr?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText) on [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com)\n{: .note}","open-source",[9,835,836,837],"user stories","kubernetes","UI",{"slug":839,"featured":6,"template":685},"from-monolith-to-microservices-how-to-leverage-aws-with-gitlab","content:en-us:blog:from-monolith-to-microservices-how-to-leverage-aws-with-gitlab.yml","From Monolith To Microservices How To Leverage Aws With Gitlab","en-us/blog/from-monolith-to-microservices-how-to-leverage-aws-with-gitlab.yml","en-us/blog/from-monolith-to-microservices-how-to-leverage-aws-with-gitlab",{"_path":845,"_dir":243,"_draft":6,"_partial":6,"_locale":7,"seo":846,"content":852,"config":860,"_id":862,"_type":13,"title":863,"_source":15,"_file":864,"_stem":865,"_extension":18},"/en-us/blog/gke-webcast-recap-post",{"title":847,"description":848,"ogTitle":847,"ogDescription":848,"noIndex":6,"ogImage":849,"ogUrl":850,"ogSiteName":672,"ogType":673,"canonicalUrls":850,"schema":851},"Scalable app deployment with GitLab and Google Cloud Platform","Get the power to spin up a Kubernetes cluster managed by Google Cloud Platform in a few clicks – watch the demo of our native integration.","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749671280/Blog/Hero%20Images/gitlab-gke-integration-cover.png","https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gke-webcast-recap-post","\n                        {\n        \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n        \"@type\": \"Article\",\n        \"headline\": \"Scalable app deployment with GitLab and Google Cloud Platform\",\n        \"author\": [{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Suri Patel\"}],\n        \"datePublished\": \"2018-05-10\",\n      }",{"title":847,"description":848,"authors":853,"heroImage":849,"date":854,"body":855,"category":789,"tags":856},[809],"2018-05-10","\n\nThe GitLab + Google Kubernetes Engine integration's versatility speeds up software development and delivery while maintaining security and scale, allowing developers to focus on building apps instead of managing infrastructure. William Chia, Senior Product Marketing Manager at GitLab, and guest speaker William Denniss, Product Manager at Google, recently met to discuss the benefits of the integration.\n\n- [What is the GitLab GKE integration?](#what-is-the-gitlab-gke-integration)\n- [What's in the webcast?](#whats-in-the-webcast)\n- [Watch the recording](#watch-the-recording)\n- [Key takeaways](#key-takeaways)\n- [Webcast Q&A](#webcast-qa)\n\n## What is the GitLab GKE integration?\n\nWith our native Google Kubernetes Engine integration, you can automatically spin up a cluster to deploy applications, with just a few clicks. Simply connect your Google account, enter a few details, and GitLab will create the clusters for you. The clusters are fully managed by Google and run on Google Cloud Platform’s best-in-class infrastructure.\n\n## What's in the webcast\n\nWilliam Chia, Senior Product Marketing Manager at GitLab, and William Denniss, Product Manager at Google, explain how to deploy applications at scale using GKE and GitLab’s robust Auto DevOps capabilities.\n\nWe start with a crash course in Kubernetes, examining containers and deployment, before taking a closer look at the [Google Kubernetes Engine integration](/partners/technology-partners/google-cloud-platform/) and seeing it in action.\n\n## Watch the recording\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/uWC2QKv15mk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\n## Key takeaways\n\n#### A seamless collaboration\n\n>Using GitLab with GKE creates an environment in which you just need to merge your code, and GitLab does all the rest. - William Chia, GitLab Senior Product Marketing Manager\n\n#### Kubernetes for success\n\n>If you go with Kubernetes, it gives you a good start. You can hit a button and configure GKE to do it for you and scale massively when you need to. It really sets you up for success. GitLab is a really great way to get started with Kubernetes, because it sets up everything nicely for you in an automated way. - William Denniss, Google Product Manager\n\n## Webcast Q&A\n\nDuring the webcast, live participants chatted in questions to the team. Here are some of the answers that were given via chat along with several questions we didn’t get a chance to answer during the webcast.\n\n>Does Kubernetes have a built-in load balancer?\n\nIt does have support for load balancing across pods within a service. You may also need an external load balancer, in the event you have multiple nodes. Creating a [Kubernetes Service object](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/service-access-application-cluster) and an [external load balancer](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/create-external-load-balancer) are great first steps.\n\n>Is it possible to deploy multiple projects in the same Kubernetes cluster?\n\nIt is, you can add the cluster manually to additional projects. We are also working to make this easier in our UI, with [support for defining clusters at the group level](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/34758).\n\n>So coming back to the setup of a cluster. If you have a separate environment for development, test, acceptance, and production, it seems we would have multiple options, like multiple clusters, or one cluster with multiple environments. Or even one cluster, one environment and point the correct environment in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file (environment page in GitLab). What do you recommend to use to have a nice CI/CD integration and still separate environments?\n\nWe support integrating multiple clusters into a single project, and you can define which environments should be deployed to which clusters by [using the environment scope](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/clusters/#setting-the-environment-scope).\n\n>Is it possible to add several clusters to the same project? To isolate environments based on clusters rather than namespaces.\n\nYes, this is a feature of GitLab Premium/Silver. (Note: Open source projects on GitLab.com get all of the features of our top-tier plan for free. Public projects on GitLab.com also have this capability.)\n\n>Does GitLab support on-demand cluster creation for integration testing for QA environments?\n\nWe support the integration of multiple clusters, and you can define which cluster each environment should be deployed to. For example, you can state that all review apps should be deployed into one cluster. If you would like to dynamically create a cluster during a test, you of course can do that as well by scripting that in a job.\n\n>Are these features available on GitLab CE?\n\nCluster integration and the main Auto DevOps functionality are available in Core (CE or EE without a license). Some jobs do require Premium, and they are noted in our [Auto DevOps documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#stages-of-auto-devops).\n\n>The test stages are paid features, right?\n\nMany test jobs are open source features available in Core, and indeed some do require an paid license. The requirements for each job are noted in our [Auto DevOps documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#stages-of-auto-devops).\n\n>What did you mean: “You can run Enterprise Edition without a license?”\n\nGitLab Enterprise Edition uses a license key to grant you access to the features of the Starter, Premium, and Ultimate plans. If you install Enterprise Edition and don’t have a license key, then you will get access to all of the Core features.\n\n[Learn more about GitLab's tiers](/blog/gitlab-tiers/).\n\n[Learn if you should use Community Edition or Enterprise Edition](/install/ce-or-ee/).\n\n>Is there a free version of GKE for testing and learning?\n\nEvery new Google Cloud Platform account receives $300 in credit upon [signup](https://console.cloud.google.com/freetrial?utm_campaign=2018_cpanel&utm_source=gitlab&utm_medium=referral). In partnership with Google, GitLab is able to offer an additional $200 for new GCP accounts to get started with GitLab’s GKE Integration. This allows you ample usage to test and learn for free.  Visit the Google partner credit page to apply for the $200 additional credit.\n\n>I see there is a $200 credit for playing around with GitLab and GKE. Can you elaborate on that? How to receive it, etc... Is it available for personal use or for professional use only? A contact form opens that wants my professional email address.\n\nThe $200 partner credit is intended for professional use. You can apply by visiting the Google Cloud Platform [partner page](https://cloud.google.com/partners/partnercredit/?PCN=a0n60000006Vpz4AAC) and filling out the form. You'll receive an email from the Google team with a key to redeem your credit.\n\n>Will Prometheus also gather the metrics without Auto DevOps, for example our own `.gitlab-ci.yml`? Or do we need to get something from the DevOps template?\n\nWe detect common system services like the NGINX Ingress or Kubernetes CPU/Memory metrics. If you use the NGINX Ingress deployed from GitLab, it is automatically configured for exporting Prometheus metrics. Additional documentation is available in our [Prometheus documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/prometheus_library/nginx_ingress.html).\n\n>Will you also support AWS?\n\nOther providers are certainly items we are considering for future releases, but we started with GKE since we felt it has the best managed Kubernetes experience available today. Other clusters can always be added manually, with just a few extra steps.\n\n>What if GitLab is running on GKE itself, can you connect the app to the same Kubernetes cluster GitLab is running on? And how safe is it to run this auto-deployment on your existing Kubernetes clusters/cluster GitLab is running on? Looks as if you could easily waste your cluster with this.\n\nIf you’re running GitLab on GKE, you can definitely connect it to the same cluster GitLab is running on to execute your GitLab runners, and as the deployment target for Auto DevOps. I’d advise to use separate namespaces for your GitLab instance to avoid any interference.\n\nNamespaces are the key to achieving workload isolation in Kubernetes; they provide isolation between different deployments to avoid one accidentally influencing the other. If you like (and it’s a bit more configuration), you can even use RBAC to prevent any developer pipelines from ever touching production.\n\nIf you want total isolation, then create a separate GCP project, with a separate cluster for production :) This is definitely the best practice for larger deployments.\n\n>I have been playing around with the `dependency_scanning`/`sast`/`dast` jobs, but the images are not cached on the runner. Will they be cached in (near) future or do we need to add any configuration?\n\nWe use Docker-in-Docker for most of these jobs, so caching is a bit tricky, and we have an [issue tracking this](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/17861).\n\n>What does GitLab use to create the container image?\n\nAuto DevOps uses Herokuish and Heroku buildpacks to automatically detect and build the application into a Docker image. If you add a Dockerfile to your repo, GitLab will use docker build to create a Docker image.\n\n>Does the GKE/Kubenetes integration require the GitLab installation to be publicly accessible from the internet? Or will it work just as well if the GitLab server is private?\n\nIt does not, but if you deploy a runner to the cluster it will need to be able to access the GitLab server to pick up jobs and do its Git clones.\n\n>How does one manage to different `.env` files for different environments with GitLab CI?\n\nIf you define environment variables at the project level, you can specify which ones are available for which environments by following the [documentation on limiting environment scopes](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/#limiting-environment-scopes-of-secret-variables).\n\n>What do I do when I receive this error: “We could not verify that one of your projects on GCP has billing enabled. Please try again.”\n\nPlease read the second bullet on the [GCP billing on the documentation page](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/clusters/#adding-and-creating-a-new-gke-cluster-via-gitlab), which should help ensure that billing is set up for your account.\n\n>Is there a setting to control the number of review apps which are running live at any given time? Worried about cost.\n\nNote that review apps only run on open Merge Requests. If you are using the Auto DevOps template, then once the code is merged, or the MR is closed, the review app shuts down. Today, there’s not a feature to limit the number of review apps, but there are a few options. Review app environments can be manually stopped from both the MR and the environments page. You can also disable review apps altogether.\n\n>What are requirements for installing the one-click applications to the cluster?\n\nHelm Tiller, Ingress, Prometheus, and GitLab Runner don't have any special requirements to install via one-click. The integration takes care to ensure the appropriate container images are used and everything is configured properly. The only prerequisite is to install Helm Tiller first (since it is used to install the other applications.) If you install these applications manually to your cluster, you can learn about the requirements for each on their respective documentation pages.\n\n>Does this replace solutions like Rancher?\n\nIn a nutshell, yes, the GitLab GKE integration provisions and manages clusters on GKE, alleviating the need for Rancher. But this also depends on your needs. You can use GitLab with or without Rancher. For example, if you are using AKS or EKS, then Rancher will provision and manage your cluster automatically, while this requires manual configuration on GitLab.\n\n>What is the current state of installing GitLab on Kubernetes?\n\nGitLab has two Helm charts for installing GitLab on Kubernetes – the GitLab-Omnibus chart and the cloud native GitLab chart.\n\nGitLab-Omnibus: The best way to run GitLab on Kubernetes today, suited for small deployments. The chart is in beta and will be deprecated by the cloud native GitLab chart.\nCloud native GitLab chart: The next generation GitLab chart, currently in alpha. Will support large deployments with horizontal scaling of individual GitLab components. For more information, please visit [the GitLab Helm chart documentation page](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/).\n\n>How usable is the new Helm chart for GitLab on Kubernetes?\n\nIt is in alpha, and we plan to have a beta available in May/June. We created [an issue](https://gitlab.com/groups/charts/-/epics/17) to note the items we are working to address before beta.\n\n>How can I enable Auto DevOps if I have `gitlab-ci.yml` file already, but for only build and test?\n\nAuto DevOps will use your custom `gitlab-ci.yml` file if it is present in your repo. If there is no file, then Auto DevOps will use the default Auto DevOps template. You can also see the [Auto DevOps template `gitlab-ci.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-yml/blob/master/Auto-DevOps.gitlab-ci.yml) and use it as a reference to add/update your `gitlab-ci.yml`. For more information, please visit [the customizing `.gitlab-ci.yml` documentation page](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#customizing-gitlab-ci-yml).\n\nHave you tried the GitLab + GKE integration?

Check out the highlights below.\n\n\u003C!-- more -->\n\nCreating great software involves a number of different disciplines, each of\nwhich may use their own tool for managing work. Chaos might seem inevitable, but\nwe've learned that a few guiding principles can help to connect people and keep\nchannels of communication open.\n\n## 1. Goals first, process second\n\nProcess exists to serve goals. Before you put processes in place or continue with existing ones, take a step back to establish what you're trying to achieve. Getting input from all stakeholders to determine goals will help to set clear expectations up front and allow everyone to voice their concerns about the scope of the project. Armed with this information, you can then decide on the best process (including timelines, review cycles and communication vehicles) to achieve the desired outcome.\n\n## 2. Establish a single source of truth\n\nWith so many stages and so much activity involved in creating a product or feature, it can be hard to keep track of what's going on. This potential for chaos is quelled by establishing a single source of truth. So when you've outlined your goals and settled on a process for achieving them, write it all down so that everyone has something to refer to and there's no confusion about what was decided or what stage something is at. This is especially helpful for distributed teams, as it means people in other locations and time zones can get up to speed quickly and collaborators can work asynchronously.  \n\n## 3. Clear, visible outcomes\n\nWhat exactly does success mean for your project? What metrics will you use? You want clear, measurable outcomes for what you're working on, so that everyone can see what's expected of them and others. At GitLab, we use [issue trackers](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/) to follow the progress of a new feature or project. Individual issues can be customized to reflect the problem you're trying to solve, how you're going to go about it, and what the outcome should be. Issues can be connected to related [merge requests](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/) so that all involved stakeholders can view new developments or changes right away, in a production-like environment. This way concerns or problems can be flagged at any stage along the way.\n\n## 4. Work cross-functionally from start to finish\n\nThe above guidelines only work if all your different functions are in communication. Instead of locking communication per-stage, per team, or per-specialty principle, leave the doors as open as possible. This minimizes risk, as GitLab Product Manager [Victor Wu](/company/team/#victorwu416) explains:\n\n> When you're creating software, and you're creating a feature, you probably want a security stakeholder involved. Security is often something that's tacked on at the end, but if it's baked directly into the design of the software it will be accounted for, and you can estimate the cost or effort required to design and implement something that accounts for security instead of backtracking later.\n\nCross-functional working also encourages a diversity of ideas from different teams contributing to a feature, which can result in a better outcome. You can foster open communication by working more transparently: make your goals, processes and metrics for success visible to your whole organization, if possible, and invite feedback. Use real-time editing tools (such as Google docs) for meetings and allow everyone to add to the agenda, take notes or suggest follow-up items.\n\n## 5. Improve the process in iterations\n\nFeeling inspired? Before you throw out all your existing processes, think about whether you can [iterate](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#iteration) on them instead. Radical change can be difficult for people to embrace, so you may have more success with gradual adjustments. Identify something that's not working well, and a small change you can make to improve on it.\n\n> Try to win those small battles, solve those small problems, week by week and month to month, and over time your process will improve.\n\n## Recording\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/8X6x54gaYRo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\n## Slides\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n\u003Ciframe src=\"https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRcQw1XTuEk12ALqnrjMSTPLQ9OAm6Mmzn-eIoUOCJgUdX8dVDejdmN_HaK2AW1lVq1iDG7VxmzaXcD/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"960\" height=\"569\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\">\u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\nYou can read more about [Tasktop's GitLab integration here](/blog/tasktop-gitlab-integration/).\n","culture",[9,230,768,767],{"slug":925,"featured":6,"template":685},"tasktop-webcast-recap","content:en-us:blog:tasktop-webcast-recap.yml","Tasktop Webcast Recap","en-us/blog/tasktop-webcast-recap.yml","en-us/blog/tasktop-webcast-recap",{"_path":931,"_dir":243,"_draft":6,"_partial":6,"_locale":7,"seo":932,"content":938,"config":945,"_id":947,"_type":13,"title":948,"_source":15,"_file":949,"_stem":950,"_extension":18},"/en-us/blog/top-five-takeaways-from-the-developer-survey",{"title":933,"description":934,"ogTitle":933,"ogDescription":934,"noIndex":6,"ogImage":935,"ogUrl":936,"ogSiteName":672,"ogType":673,"canonicalUrls":936,"schema":937},"Top 5 takeaways from the 2018 Developer Survey","GitLab's director of product marketing discusses the challenges facing DevOps adoption and other key findings from our 2018 Developer Survey.","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749680105/Blog/Hero%20Images/top-five-takeaways-blog-image.jpg","https://about.gitlab.com/blog/top-five-takeaways-from-the-developer-survey","\n                        {\n        \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n        \"@type\": \"Article\",\n        \"headline\": \"Top 5 takeaways from the 2018 Developer Survey\",\n        \"author\": [{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Aricka Flowers\"}],\n        \"datePublished\": \"2018-05-14\",\n      }",{"title":933,"description":934,"authors":939,"heroImage":935,"date":941,"body":942,"category":704,"tags":943},[940],"Aricka Flowers","2018-05-14","\n_Our [2022 Global DevSecOps Survey](/developer-survey/) has the latest insights from over 5,000 DevOps professionals._\n\nWhile the merits of cross-functional workflows are becoming more accepted in the software development space, it still has quite a way to go. In fact, [GitLab’s survey of 5,000 software professionals](/developer-survey/previous/2018/) found that only 23 percent of respondents are working with a DevOps workflow.\n\nThis is one of five top takeaways from the annual report on software development trends and the impact continuous integration and automation have on the way IT teams work.\n\n- [What’s in the webcast](#whats-in-the-webcast)\n- [Watch the recording](#watch-the-recording)\n- [Top takeaways](#top-takeaways)\n\n## What’s in the webcast\n\nThe discussion kicks off with the differing outlooks managers and developers have on DevOps adoption and the source of bottlenecks in the development process. We move on to highlight the distinctions between high- and low-performing teams and the role open source tools have in software development. The discussion then delves into the way continuous integration helps teams get working code out of the door faster.\n\n## Watch the recording\n\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/7hgoeV6LcFo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\n## Top takeaways\n\n### Managers are more optimistic about their DevOps adoption progress than developers\n\n>Companies tend to look at DevOps as the next transformational methodology that's going to solve all software delivery problems, and of course there's a lot of truth in that when done really well. What we're finding is when you actually go and survey these organizations, managers and the management layer seem to have a more optimistic view of how they are progressing and what they can do with it. And though developers find the promise in it, they tend to agree less with the optimism of management. From our perspective, that makes a lot of sense because developers are in the trenches tooling, retooling, trying to configure, making that CD pipeline work, always kind of running into different roadblocks and trying to solve that all the time. So, although they're excited, I think their viewpoint is not necessarily as rosy about it when compared to management.\n\n### Developers say most delays in the development process are in the testing phase, while managers say the majority of bottlenecks are attributed to the planning process\n\n>Everybody acknowledges that there are bottlenecks and delays in this development pipeline. When doing DevOps, you still get stuck. But where they actually encounter these delays and bottlenecks varied from team to team. The majority of this was in testing, the next one was planning. Development, operations, and practitioner teams actually found most of the bottlenecks and delays in their actual phases of work, whether this was testing the plan to production, etcetera. Management was found to be more frustrated and concerned about the planning phase of getting things kick started. - Ashish Kuthiala\n\n>Fifty-two percent of people say that testing is where they encounter the most delays. I don't think that's a number to be taken lightly. This is why continuous testing, automated testing is such a big piece of the DevOps software development lifecycle. If that's the single biggest cause for delay and we can automate more of that testing, the time it takes has got to come down. - Alan Shimel\n\n### Open source tools play an integral role in the software development process\n\n>We're finding that open source tools are becoming a very critical component that developers choose to help solve their problems. People are starting to look at tools that they can integrate with their stack and modify or contribute to; and they want to be recognized as well. So they're starting to turn to tools that are malleable, tools that they can use and understand what's underneath the hood. There's a good community around open source because as developers face problems, they can ask their peers for help and also help others. - Ashish Kuthiala\n\n### Teams that self-identify as high performing do DevOps well\n\n>Teams that move fast work on smaller pieces of code and get them out of production quickly, i.e. they do DevOps well and they assess themselves as higher performing teams ...\nFor these teams that do well, we found that removing roadblocks in the development process starts with continuous integration. If you are doing continuous integration well and automating that portion of the lifecycle along with others, it makes a huge impact in removing bottlenecks. You have to ship and get the code or the configuration change production ready right away. The more you wait, the more it piles it up and the harder it becomes. - Ashish Kuthiala\n\nPhoto by [Caspar Rubin](https://unsplash.com/photos/fPkvU7RDmCo) on [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/)\n{: .note}\n",[682,944,9,767,768],"developer survey",{"slug":946,"featured":6,"template":685},"top-five-takeaways-from-the-developer-survey","content:en-us:blog:top-five-takeaways-from-the-developer-survey.yml","Top Five Takeaways From The Developer Survey","en-us/blog/top-five-takeaways-from-the-developer-survey.yml","en-us/blog/top-five-takeaways-from-the-developer-survey",{"_path":952,"_dir":243,"_draft":6,"_partial":6,"_locale":7,"seo":953,"content":959,"config":964,"_id":966,"_type":13,"title":967,"_source":15,"_file":968,"_stem":969,"_extension":18},"/en-us/blog/ways-to-encourage-collaboration",{"title":954,"description":955,"ogTitle":954,"ogDescription":955,"noIndex":6,"ogImage":956,"ogUrl":957,"ogSiteName":672,"ogType":673,"canonicalUrls":957,"schema":958},"3 Ways to foster collaboration","Want to know how we encourage everyone to contribute?","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1749669991/Blog/Hero%20Images/ways-to-encourage-collaboration.jpg","https://about.gitlab.com/blog/ways-to-encourage-collaboration","\n                        {\n        \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n        \"@type\": \"Article\",\n        \"headline\": \"3 Ways to foster collaboration\",\n        \"author\": [{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Rebecca Dodd\"}],\n        \"datePublished\": \"2017-06-12\",\n      }",{"title":954,"description":955,"authors":960,"heroImage":956,"date":961,"body":962,"category":922,"tags":963},[701],"2017-06-12","\n\nWe know that [collaboration is critical](/blog/why-collaboration-tools-matter/) for organizations moving towards a DevOps culture. Here's how we encourage collaboration in our workflow at GitLab.\n\n\u003C!-- more -->\n\n## 1. We make suggesting changes less scary\n\nUsing version control for more than just your source code means that everyone feels free to contribute to documentation, configurations, tests and whatever else you're working on. With the benefit of [merge requests](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/), it's possible to suggest a change or an improvement, or even just query something that isn't entirely clear or could be described better, without just going ahead and making the change immediately. This invites discussion and prevents less experienced team members from feeling nervous to voice their opinions.\n\n>\"It really makes the documentation, similar to the source code, an open source and living document that everyone can contribute to.\" – GitLab Platform Backend Lead, [Douwe Maan](/company/team/#DouweM)\n\n## 2. We open our development platform\n\nBy giving everyone in your organization access to view what other teams are working on, you allow everyone to discover and contribute beyond their own projects. This [inner sourcing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_source) approach makes it more likely that team members can learn from others or offer suggestions from their own experience that could be applied to a different project, avoiding duplication of work. Douwe explains: \"It's working together to make all of our code better, because if we use a shared library – even if it’s just an internal one – if one person improves it or fixes a bug or increases the functionality of that application, that’s work by one person that will immediately affect all the different teams.\"\n\n## 3. We make code review impersonal\n\nEveryone is encouraged to [review each other's code](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XluG9mAQdSo&feature=youtu.be) or ask for input, and the focus of that review is firmly on improving the code. The approach is not to say, \"This is wrong, change it to this,\" which can be really demotivating. We use language like, \"Have you considered this?\" or \"What do you think about this?\"\n\nThis not only makes code review less scary for the person whose merge request is being reviewed, it also makes it less intimidating for other team members to weigh in on more senior team members' work.\n\n>\"Review is really something we all do together. Even the most junior person or just someone who doesn’t really know this part of the application yet, if they see something that doesn’t quite look right to them or something they might have a question about, it’s really useful if you make them feel free to comment on that.\" - Douwe\n\nBy removing the barriers to contribution and making it easy and encouraged to offer input, even where team members have less experience, we've built a culture around collaboration and learning from others' expertise.

In case you missed it, here's what you need to know.\n\n## 1. Software is moving faster and security is struggling to keep up\nDevelopment teams are shipping at record speeds, but their security counterparts are finding it difficult to meet that pace. Our [DevSecOps survey](https://about.gitlab.com/developer-survey/) revealed that 66% of companies are shipping code twice as fast as last year, while 55% of security teams are finding vulnerabilities after code is merged to test environments. With 80% of top data breaches coming from application layer attacks, this gap must be addressed.\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\">\u003Ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/1023367700?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Market Insights\">\u003C/iframe>\u003C/div>\u003Cscript src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js\">\u003C/script>\n\n## 2.

Built on technology acquired from Oxeye, Advanced SAST offers cross-file and cross-function scanning with taint analysis. The star feature is a code flow view that lets developers trace vulnerabilities from source to sink, making it easier to understand and fix security issues.\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\">\u003Ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/1023369304?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Advanced SAST\">\u003C/iframe>\u003C/div>\u003Cscript src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js\">\u003C/script>\n\n> Learn even more with our [Advanced SAST tutorial](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/quick-vulnerability-remediation-with-gitlab-advanced-sast-duo-ai/).\n\n## 3. Accidental secret commits are a thing of the past\nGitLab's new [secret push protection feature](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/prevent-secret-leaks-in-source-code-with-gitlab-secret-push-protection/) stops sensitive information from reaching your GitLab repository by checking the contents of each commit. Instead of dealing with the aftermath of exposed credentials, the system catches secrets before they're committed, saving security teams countless hours of remediation work.\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\">\u003Ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/1023370222?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Secret Push\">\u003C/iframe>\u003C/div>\u003Cscript src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js\">\u003C/script>\n\n## 4. AI is a security catalyst\nAI isn't just for code completion anymore. GitLab Duo has evolved to understand merge requests and provide contextual security assistance. With the new Quick Chat feature (accessible via Alt+C), developers can get security insights without leaving their editor.\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\">\u003Ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/1023385333?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"AI Security\">\u003C/iframe>\u003C/div>\u003Cscript src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js\">\u003C/script>\n\n## 5. Static reachability reduces security noise\nThe new static reachability feature for Python and Java helps teams focus on vulnerabilities that matter. By identifying which dependencies are actually used in your code, it reduces false positives and helps teams prioritize real security threats.\n\n\u003Cdiv style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\">\u003Ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/1023388137?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Static Reachability\">\u003C/iframe>\u003C/div>\u003Cscript src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js\">\u003C/script>\n\n## Watch on-demand now\n\n[Watch the full \"Security Deep Dive\" recording](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7255246777077936128) to see these features in action and hear more insights from our security experts.\n\nBe sure to follow GitLab on LinkedIn to be notified of our monthly broadcasts and get more insights and the latest news about AI-powered DevSecOps.",[881,680,9,983,984],"DevSecOps","features",{"slug":986,"featured":90,"template":685},"5-things-to-know-from-our-linkedin-live-security-deep-dive","content:en-us:blog:5-things-to-know-from-our-linkedin-live-security-deep-dive.yml","5 Things To Know From Our Linkedin Live Security Deep Dive","en-us/blog/5-things-to-know-from-our-linkedin-live-security-deep-dive.yml","en-us/blog/5-things-to-know-from-our-linkedin-live-security-deep-dive",2,[665,690,714,733,754,775,799,820,844],1753733120028]
