Overview:
As we wrap up FY22, we need to deliver on the empowerment of all types of users with Operations for All, drive team efficiency with Speedy, Reliable Pipelines, enable decision making from Smart Feedback Loops proving the ROI of a Single DevOps Platform, all while ensuring we meet our GitLab-hosted First commitment to our GitLab.com users.
A
All
right,
hello,
everyone,
my
name
is
jackie,
porter
and
I'm
joined
with
parker
ennis
senior
product
marketing
manager
and
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
verify
second,
half
positioning
and
strategy.
A
We
also
have
several
categories
and
strategies
inside
of
this.
This
beautiful
stage
we're
composed
of
pipeline
execution,
pipeline
authoring,
runner
and
testing
the
slide's
a
little
out
of
date.
We
renamed
continuous
integration
to
pipeline
execution
a
little
while
ago
as
a
quick
overview.
We've
also
introduced
several
new
categories,
including
ci
scaling,
build
artifacts
under
the
testing
group,
and
we've
eliminated
a
couple
of
different
categories
and
combined
them
into
one
category,
including
load
and
browser
testing,
which
is
now
into
performance
testing.
A
When
we
take
a
quick
glance
at
a
current
verify
offering,
we
have
several
major
features
which
include
the
overall
get
lab
ci
yaml,
which
is
powering
much
of
our
features
that
we
offer
today.
We
also
have
the
ci
linter,
of
course,
our
lightweight
build
agent,
that
empower
powers,
our
our
jobs
and
then,
of
course,
test
cases
and
environments
as
well
as
job
artifacts,
which
is
a
great
feature
that
enables
a
lot
of
the
functionality
in
pipelines.
Today,
as
we
look
at
the
overall
team,
we
have
an
amazing
team
in
the
verify
stage.
A
This
is
the
faces
of
our
teammates
across
engineering
product
and
design.
Just
wanted
you
to
see
them
in
case
you
are
looking
to
interact
with
them
and
schedule
a
follow-up
call
after
you
learn
about
the
great
things
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
in
in
second
half
now.
Looking
forward,
this
slide
may
look
a
little
familiar
to
you.
A
I
also
wanted
to
have
a
quick
note
on
the
metrics
that
were
going
to
be
focused
in
our
second
half
strategy
and
what
we'll
be
driving
across
verify
we're
expecting
to
really
optimize
on
reliability,
and
you
may
notice
with
this,
that
we're
not
going
to
be
intentionally
investing
or
growing
our
gmail,
so
our
investments
aren't
going
to
be
a
bunch
of
features
that
will
optimize
our
monthly
active
users.
This
is
just
to
really
set
and
kind
of
forecast
out
that
these
features
aren't
going
to
be
an
investment
in
new
growth
in
users.
A
The
top
investments
in
the
second
half
of
the
year
are
really
exciting,
though
we
are
going
to
continue
on
delivering
on
the
theme
of
our
usability
for
foundational
ci
by
making
merge
trains
variables
and
artifacts
even
more
use
usable,
while
introducing
mac
os
runners
in
ga,
we'll
also
continue
to
support
compliance
teammates
in
our
ops
for
all
ethic.
We
want
to
continue
to
enable
compliance
pipelines
in
the
authoring
experience,
while
also
delivering
excellent
ci
template
experience
to
enable
consistent
tooling
for
teams.
A
Lastly,
locking
down
runners
has
been
an
ask
for
years
and
we
hope
to
begin
delivering
on
this
feature
in
the
coming
months.
As
we
start
to
incorporate
more
people
into
gitlab,
we
want
to
keep
the
momentum
for
decisions,
so
we're
going
to
begin
adding
features
for
those
smart
feedback
loops
around
ci
minutes
and
project
quality.
A
Lastly,
we're
going
to
be
prioritizing
the
experience
for
a
gitlab.com
users
by
building
parityon.com
and
ensuring
availability
and
performance
are
extremely
high
and
consistent.
I'm
going
to
pass
it
off
to
parker
who's,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
these
features
are
going
to
help
you
sell
in
the
field.
B
Well,
thank
you,
jackie
lots
of
good
stuff
in
the
hopper
and
going
on
the
verify
front,
and
I
wanted
to
first
take
a
second
to
connect
with
the
work
you're
doing
on
the
verified
team
and
everyone
on
your
team
to
the
product
themes
and
connect
those
dots
over
to
value
drivers,
so
that
we
can
kind
of
make
sure
that
this
is
a
mutual
relationship
and
a
benefit
that
we
can
go
out
there
and
use
and
sell
and
leverage
in
the
field.
So
you
you're
familiar
with.
B
What's
on
the
left
side,
jackie
just
ran
through
that
a
little
bit.
What
I
want
to
focus
on
is
what
you
see
in
the
orange
boxes
in
the
right,
so
thinking
about
these
investments
in
merge
trains,
variables
and
artifacts
connected
to
to
making
our
pipelines
perform
it
and
speedy,
and
this
really
does
well
to
connect
to
delivering
better
products
faster
right.
B
So
we
want
to
be
on
the
lookout
when
we're
engaging
with
customers
and
be
able
to
leverage
these
kind
of
benefits
and
be
able
to
speak
to
them
confidently
and
say:
hey.
A
B
Know
we
know
you
need
scalable
pipelines
right,
we
know
as
you
grow,
you
need
more.
You
need
the
ability
to
do
the
same
thing,
you're
doing
efficiently
and
immunity
pipelines
your
own
performance,
and
so
that
makes
it
easier
for
for
all
your
teams
to
get
their
jobs
done
without
distractions,
without
their
disruptions,
and
obviously
we
know
that
reusability
improves
efficiency
for
ops.
For
all.
I
like
this
one,
a
lot
because
we
know
the
security
is
a
really
really
pertinent
topic
in
the
industry.
Right
now,
we've
got
the
solar
ones.
B
We've
got
these
executive
orders
and
then
we've
got
you
know
the
the
the
reliability
and
and
the
compliance
aspect
along
with
security
here.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
reduce
that
security
and
that
compliance
risk,
and
some
of
the
things
you
see
is
the
protected
runners.
As
she
said,
I'm
going
to
be
something
really
really
good
for
for
our
community
mci
templar
kind
of
puts
the
power
into
the
hands
of
more
users
right
to
be
able
to
do
things
more
efficiently,
with
reusable
templates
and
craft
their
pipelines.
B
I
mean
this
really
evens
the
playing
field.
So
it's
not
just
organizations
or
teams
of
all
the
resources
that
can
can
they
can
put
you
know,
operations
for
all
as
a
theme,
it
means
any
team.
Any
org
in
any
size
can
take
advantage
of
these
modern
best
practices
and
they're
going
to
become
more
and
more
important
in
the
industry.
B
Smart
feedback
clips.
We
talk
about
this
a
lot.
You
know
we,
we
utilize
our
feedback
loops
and
within
gitlab
all
the
time
here
at
gitlab.
Now
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
leveraging
that
automation
to
increase
visibility
and
keep
teens
alive
right.
We
talk
about
that.
A
lot
too.
We
don't
want
people
guessing
what
changed,
who
changed
it?
B
What's
the
impact
you
often
hear
a
lot
of
people
say
that
if
they've
got
jenkins
as
a
big
jenkins
footprint
right,
it's
a
very,
very
common
problem-
change
management,
something
that
we
do
well
and
aligns
well
with
our
feedback
loops
and
then
git
lab
hosted
first
writer
what
we
were
calling
sas
first
before
a
couple
value
drivers
that
I
think
this
links
to
increase
operational
efficiencies
and
then
delivering
better
products
faster
as
well.
We
want
to
ensure
feature
pair.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
lovable
experience
between
these
two
and
then
that
lovable
experience
is
consistent,
and
so
you
know
you
don't
have
to
choose
between
reliability
and
speed.
You
can
get
both
of
those
the
way
that
you
want
it
and
that
works
best
for
you
and
get
lab
hosted.
First
is
really
gonna
help
help
our
community
out
as
we
as
we
make
sure.
We
have
good
feature
parity
between
self-managed
and
hosted
we'll
go
to.
B
And
then
just
quickly
wanted
to
talk
about,
what's
expected
on
the
truck
right.
Obviously,
things
are
subject
to
change,
but
I
did
I
want
you
to
be
on
the
lookout
for
a
couple
important
milestones,
starting
with
the
beta
launch
of
the
get
get
lab,
build
cloud
for
mac
os.
This
is
scheduled
for
14.2
and
definitely
encourage
you
to
check
out
the
link.
B
Excuse
me
on
your
own
time
and
check
it
out,
but
we're
scheduling
this
for
the
22nd
of
this
month
in
august
goodlatte,
14.2
and
then
ga
is
supposed
to
be
afterwards,
and
this
is
really
really
great
value
for
anyone
or
any
team
developing
for
apple
products
right.
This
will
increase
the
surface
area
of
our
total
addressable
market
and
who
can
and
should
resonate
with
apple
shops
if
you're,
developing
mac
os
ios
tv
ios
right
all
of
these
operating
systems.
B
It's
a
very
niche
area
and
these
developers
these
very
specific
tools
and
obviously
need
this
operating
system
to
build
their
products.
So
this
kind
of
support
should
really
do
go
a
long
way
for
us
being
able
to
get
in
and
and
communicate
and
engage
with
a
new
market
of
apple
apple
developers,
and
then
some
features
to
be
on
the
lookout
for
definitely
encourage
you
to
check
out
these
links
too.
B
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
them,
but
I
did
want
to
call
out
a
special
call
for
the
allow
needs
or
dag
to
refer
to
the
job
in
the
same
stage.
This
is
really
highly
anticipated
and
it's
going
to
allow
you
to
create
a
pipeline
with
this
needs
relationship
between
any
job
within
your
pipeline
without
dependencies
on
one
another
right.
B
So
this
means
your
pipelines
are,
are
less
verbose
and
they
can
run
faster
and
you
don't
have
these
implicit
dependencies
that
make
you
rely
on
this
other
job
before
it
sequentially,
and
that
is
the
one
I
wanted
to
call
out,
but
definitely
come
and
check
out.
Those
links
for
some
high
value
features.
A
Something
that
we'll
be
talking
about
a
little
bit
more
in
the
future
is
ci
minutes
visibility,
which
is
a
lot
about
enforcing
ci
minute
limits
for
public
projects.
This
has
an
impact
to
our
open
source
community
and
is
something
that
will
be
rolling
in
a
slow
roll
in
both
second
half
but
also
into
next
year.
So
that's
also
something
that
is
a
major
milestone
to
really
think
about
in
second
half,
but
will
continue
also
into
the
first
quarter
of
of
next
year,
as
well,
just
to
kind
of
share
cool
awesome.
B
We
can
go
to
the
next
one,
and
then
you
know
we
talked
about.
What's
what's
expected
on
the
truck
we
kind
of
connected
themes
and
effort
to
verify
so
the
value
drivers.
I
want
to
talk
about
who
we're
selling
to
right
as
well
and
just
call
out
some
important
user
personas
and
some
buyer
presenters
that
you
want
to
be
on
the
lookout
for
these
roles
and
titles
and
names.
So
you
can
kind
of
think
about
what
are
their
pains?
B
You
know
what
are
they
dealing
with
today
and
what's
going
to
be
my
best
way
to
connect
with
them,
I
mean
give
them
value
and
have
good
critical
conversations
with
them
right
so
think
about
sasha,
think
about
less
disruptions
and
more
coding
and
we're
going
to
see
a
lot
of
developers
are
a
really
big
focus
for
what's
going
on,
verified
right
really
aligns
with
ci.
These
are
the
people
that
are
typically
hands-on
with
this
part
of
the
product
and
this
part
of
devops
life
cycle
and
then
developmentally
delaney.
Another
good
one.
B
Something
like
your
ci
minutes
is
something
that
they
may
care
about
and
then
devops
engineer.
Devin.
We
see
these
a
lot.
These
devops
roles,
I
think,
are
becoming
more
common
than
they
were
even
five
years
ago
and
when
we
were
talking
about
how
common
they
were.
So
I
think
this
is
just
on
a
growth
curve,
and
on
this
left
side
we
see
all
these
people
that
are
users
and
they're
really
really
going
to
benefit
greatly
from
the
verify
efforts
and
then
on
the
right
side.
We
see
some
of
the
buyers
right.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
leverage
that
influence
and
when
we're
engaging
with
with
customers
and
prospects,
talking
about
what's
what's
on
the
truck
and
what's
good
and
verified,
and
also
that
have
to
have
director
dakota
right,
someone
that
cares
about
the
team,
productivity
efficiency
and
unlikely
he's
going
to
have
the
first
change
in
economic
fire.
So
we
want
to
be
on
the
lookout
for
these
think
about
get
familiar
with
their
pains.
Do
a
little
research
on
them
and
what
their
day-to-day
looks
like
and
think
about
hey.
B
And
then
the
the
last
life
of
me,
hey,
we've
got
what's
on
the
truck,
who
are
we
selling
to
right?
So
so,
what's
going
on
what
activities?
What
kind
of
air
covers?
Marketing
providing-
and
you
know
what's
going
to
help
me
sell
going
forward
and
a
few
things
I
wanted
to
call
out
so
we're
going
to
have
a
large
enterprise
customer
abm
webinar,
with
a
heavy
focus
on
ci,
cd
and
obviously
the
devops
platform
value.
That
should
be
really
really
good.
B
This
is
a
large
organization
and
we
can
get
a
nice
foothold
in
there.
I
think
it
could
do
wonders
and
be
has
a
lot
of
potential
to
grow
there,
we're
expecting
an
analyst
report
for
cicd
likely
q3
we're
not
sure
yet
really
another
asset
that
we
love
to
utilize
when
we
get
good
performance
and
reports
and
I'm
good
and
remained
as
a
leader
etc.
B
A
B
All
indications
are
that
we're
going
to
have
a
combined
or
consolidated
ci
cd
report.
So
that's
something
to
look
forward
to,
and
that
should
be
something
new
and
interesting
and
then
obviously
called
out
get
lab
bib
cloud
for
mac
os
beta
for
14.2
and
then
we'll
follow
that
up
with
a
ga
launch
approximately
three
months
afterwards,
again
really
servicing
these
this
new
market
of
apple
developers,
which
I'm
looking
forward
to
then
obviously
we're
working
on
a
competitive
and
devops
tool.
B
Update
page
check
out
that
link
to
see,
I
know,
that's
leveraged
in
the
field
a
lot.
I
know
that
y'all
rely
on
that
for
decision
kit
and
when
you're
engaging
and
want
to
show
the
value
of,
maybe
us
compared
to
another
vendor,
so
we're
doing
an
initiative
to
make
sure
that
that
is
up
to
date
and
improved
and
the
best
that
it
can
be
and
we're
going
to
continuously
iterate
on
that
and
then,
of
course
commit
satellite
event
for
ci.
B
A
Wow
parker:
this
is
really
great.
I
really
loved
hearing
about
the
value
drivers,
the
connection
back
to
sales,
the
business
and
watching
the
product
vision
and
how
these
events
will
help
our
team
sell
is
just
really
empowering.
Thank
you
so
much
for
going
through.
All
of
that
that
was
really
yeah.
That
was
great.
So
we
do
have
some
awesome
verified
focus
areas.
A
We've
created
some
slide
breakouts
to
really
help
you
kind
of
understand
the
deeper
areas
we'll
create
a
link
to
this
dac
inside
of
this
recording
for
easy
viewing
and
in
the
interest
of
time
I'll
go
ahead
and
skip
to
a
forward-looking
slide
that
will
enable
you
to
kind
of
see
what's
into
the
future,
here's
some
resources
that
help
you
engage
in
future
facing
direction
items
for
the
verify
stage.
A
Some
ideas
include
the
get
lab
ci
template
marketplace,
which
is
an
idea
of
a
community-based
central
repository
for
organizations
to
share
their
ci
templates,
eventually,
maybe
even
creating
private
communities
for
them
to
share
their
templates.
We
also
have
a
runner
enterprise
management
link
here,
which
is
a
premium
feature,
including
instant,
wide
runner
tokens,
which
are
also
kind
of
an
extension
of
our
compliance
theme.
We
have
additional
features
around
test
insights
for
groups
and
a
link
to
our
artifact
storage
consumption
effort,
which
is
related
to
the
greater
initiative
that
enablement
has
been
leading.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
future
facing
kind
of
innovation,
driving
initiatives,
given
that
the
first
half
and
the
first
quarter
of
the
second
half
has
been
focused
on
tech
debt
and
a
lot
of
the
initiatives
around
infrastructure
and
infradev
issues.
We're
really
hoping
that
next
year
can
be
a
lot
of
innovation,
driving
initiatives,
so
I'm
excited
to
help,
engage
you
and
to
think
about
get
lab
ci
and
the
next
generation
of
ci
and
what's
in
the
future,
and
hopefully
get
some
interest
and
engagement
around
that
well
parker.
Thank
you.

So
much
for
doing
this
second
half
kickoff
with
me
and
to
to
engage
interest
and
to
enable
the
field
with
me
on
our
verify
strategy.
B
Thanks
for
setting
it
up
and
bringing
everything
you
all
do
to
the
table
and
you'll
never
cease
to
amaze
with
the
work
you're
doing
so
appreciate
it.
