# GitLab

A DevSecOps platform that provides source code management, CI/CD, and security scanning in a single application.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same CI/CD and software development lifecycle orchestration capability to the same platform engineers and frontend developers who would evaluate the anchor's deployment and preview infrastructure, and a buyer choosing GitLab for CI/CD and hosting would make the anchor's build-and-deploy service unnecessary.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Your intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps

> From planning to source code management to CI/CD, everything you need to build and ship software faster in one platform

> Consolidate scanners like SAST, SCA, Secret Detection, and DAST into one platform
