GitLab

GitLab provides an integrated DevSecOps platform with built-in CI/CD, security scanning, and compliance features. It supports self-managed deployments including air-gapped instances and offers policy-as-code capabilities through its compliance frameworks. Compared with CodeNow, GitLab still centers human workflows and approval rules rather than structural execution-time controls, so organizations adding AI agents often need extra configuration to prevent ungoverned paths. Pricing follows a tiered subscription model with a generous free tier for smaller teams.
