After 14 years of development, DevOps is no longer a little-known term. With the support of mature methodologies and complex tool chains, many domestic and foreign companies have achieved improvements in software delivery efficiency through the implementation of DevOps. With the in-depth development of DevOps, the market size of DevOps is also developing further and rapidly.
According to research data from Research and Markets , the global DevOps market size will be approximately US$8.88 billion in 2020, growing to US$10.84 billion in 2023, with a compound annual growth rate of 22.1%; and this data will reach a staggering US$24.71 billion in 2027 USD, the compound annual growth rate increased to 22.9%.
Such a large market has also attracted many manufacturers to deploy in the DevOps track, and new tools and products are constantly emerging. Gartner, a world-renowned IT consulting and research company, divided the tools or products provided by these vendors and released the industry-famous Magic Quadrant for DevOps Platforms. The Magic Quadrant is divided into four quadrants: NICHE PLAYERS (niche), VISIONARIES (visionary), CHALLENGERS (challengers) and LEADERS (leaders). Among them, the products in the LEADERS quadrant are the most advanced, which means that the product's capabilities and market recognition are very high. GitLab is located in the Leaders Quadrant of the DevOps Platform Magic Quadrant.
In order to better serve Chinese users, Jihu GitLab was born. As the distribution version of GitLab in China, Jihu GitLab, as a mature and secure DevOps platform, has the following advantages:
Feature-rich, ready to use right out of the box
DevOps itself hopes to help enterprises accelerate the entire process from "idea" to deployment and launch through end-to-end delivery capabilities. As an integrated DevOps platform, Jihu GitLab provides DevOps capabilities covering the entire life cycle of software development, including agile project management, source code hosting, CI/CD, security management, monitoring and operation and maintenance, etc. All functions are available out of the box, and there is no need to install third-party operation and maintenance tools, saving users the purchase and operation costs of multiple tool chains .
Safety guarantee, quality and efficiency
Software quality and delivery efficiency are the core for enterprises to remain competitive. The Jihu GitLab integrated platform allows all personnel related to software development (products, R&D, testing, security, etc.) to collaborate on the same platform, reducing communication costs and improving R&D efficiency. At the same time, the built-in JiHu Flow embeds code review, security scanning, etc. into the R&D workflow to ensure the quality of delivered software.
In addition, Jihu GitLab also provides a fully functional software development security protection system. Including platform account management, warehouse permission management, code branch management, code security scanning, vulnerability security management, etc. Multi-level protection builds a defense-in-depth system for software development . In particular, Jihu GitLab's seven major security scanning functions: key detection, dependency scanning, SAST (including IaC scanning), DAST, container image scanning, license compliance, and fuzz testing (based on both API and Web) . Security scanning is embedded in GitLab CI, and scanning can be started with just two lines of code, truly realizing the "security shift left" of DevSecOps.

Private deployment, independent and controllable
Jihu GitLab's private deployment supports multiple operating systems (Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, etc.) and multiple installation methods (source code, installation packages, containers, etc.). Enterprises can choose flexibly and quickly build a mature DevOps platform according to their own needs. All data is within the enterprise, and data security is guaranteed. Enterprises can also select an appropriate installation and deployment architecture model based on the actual situation of their own scale to further improve the availability and reliability of the platform. If it is a multinational or cross-city R&D team, you can also use the GEO architecture to improve the collaboration efficiency of the cross-regional R&D team while ensuring the high reliability of the source code.
Monthly releases, continuous iteration
GitLab adopts a monthly release mechanism and releases the latest version in the last week of every month. It has released 28 versions so far, each version has more than 100+ functional updates or improvements, involving agile project management, source code hosting, CI/CD , value stream management, safety management, operation and maintenance monitoring, etc. The continuous iterative updates of functions also bring more value to enterprise users.
