Stress-free access to Duo Agent Platform's AI power
Our experts live and breathe GitLab. From migration and updates to ongoing operations, they ensure that everything runs smoothly. We have experience from numerous projects and, last but not least, we use GitLab ourselves—because we believe in it.
If everything goes according to plan, we can have you up and running on the new GitLab environment within a week.
1. We take a close look at your current situation.
During the first appointment, we will work together to gain a comprehensive overview of your current environment: storage requirements, setup, configuration, and network. This allows us to identify all relevant aspects at an early stage and plan the next steps – including an initial assessment of your backup needs.
2. Your managed GitLab environment takes shape.
At the same time, we coordinate the technical details for your new managed GitLab instance and set it up in isolation – accessible only via defined IP addresses. This ensures that your environment is optimally protected, even if older GitLab versions have potential vulnerabilities.
To do this, you provide us with a current backup of your existing environment – the basis for a smooth migration.
3. We test the migration—better safe than sorry.
We migrate your data to the new environment using backup and restore and check that everything is working as planned.
4. Upgrade to the latest GitLab version? Here we go.
We update your instance along the official upgrade path for maximum security and performance.
5. You put everything through its paces. (optional)
If desired, you can test the new environment extensively before we approve the final migration together.
6. Now it's getting serious: the final migration is underway.
We carry out the final migration at the agreed time – transparently and predictably.
7. Done! We wrap things up and hand over your application to you.
After a final update, we will hand over your new GitLab environment to you.
With GitLab 18, you will not only enjoy all the benefits of the latest version, but also gain access to GitLab's AI platform "Duo Agent." This will allow you to make your development processes even more efficient and intelligent.
