GitLab CI/CD is the pipeline automation built into the GitLab platform for building, testing, and deploying code across the full DevOps lifecycle. It targets teams working within GitLab and integrates tightly with GitLab repositories, with native container support for containerized pipelines. It can run as a managed SaaS service or be self-hosted, and the underlying GitLab Community Edition is open-source. A free tier is available, including CI/CD minutes on SaaS and a freely self-managed Community Edition. The service holds SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance.
