What are examples of companies that use Gitlab?

Hunter Douglas Comerica Podium QAD Forterro EveryMatrix Qt Group Truist Medtronic Snowflake

We dug into our own data to find which companies are using GitLab in production. Here are real-world examples of how they use it.

Hunter Douglas logo Hunter Douglas

Manufacturing - Broomfield, Colorado

Hunter Douglas is the world's largest manufacturer of window coverings. They've built an IoT engineering operation around their motorized and connected shading systems - including a smart home gateway, mobile apps, and cloud integrations.

Hunter Douglas GitLab

Hunter Douglas runs a self-hosted GitLab Enterprise Edition instance for their engineering teams. They use it for CI/CD pipelines, code review, and version control across their IoT, mobile, and cloud development work. They've also enabled GitLab Duo - including Duo Chat, Duo Code Review, and agentic AI workflows.


Comerica logo Comerica

Banking - Dallas, Texas

Comerica is a US commercial bank with around $80 billion in assets, focused on commercial banking across the US, Canada, and Mexico.

Comerica GitLab

Comerica runs GitLab Dedicated - GitLab's single-tenant SaaS offering built for regulated industries that need data isolation and compliance guarantees without managing their own infrastructure. It's a meaningful choice for a bank: GitLab Dedicated sits in a separate, isolated cloud environment per customer, which matters for financial services compliance.

They've also enabled GitLab Duo for AI-assisted development and authenticate through Okta SSO.

Beyond the core platform, their setup includes GitLab's container registry and Kubernetes agent server - meaning CI/CD pipelines are producing containerized software and deploying it into Kubernetes clusters directly through GitLab. That's a full modern DevOps stack: code, containers, and Kubernetes deployments all running through one isolated GitLab environment.


Podium logo Podium

Software - Lehi, Utah

Podium makes a customer communications and payments platform for local businesses.

Podium GitLab

Podium runs self-hosted GitLab Enterprise Edition (Premium tier) at their own domain, with Okta as the sole authentication provider. GitLab CI is deeply embedded across their entire engineering stack - it's listed as a core tool for infrastructure, platform, mobile, and data engineering.

They've also enabled GitLab Duo for AI-assisted development.


QAD logo QAD

Software - Santa Barbara, California

QAD makes cloud ERP and supply chain software for global manufacturers.

QAD GitLab

QAD runs self-hosted GitLab EE at `git.qad.com`, with OneLogin for SSO. GitLab CI is their standard CI/CD platform across the entire engineering org.

They've built a full GitOps stack on top of it: GitLab CI for pipelines, Terraform for infrastructure as code, ArgoCD for continuous delivery into Kubernetes, and Helm for application management.


Forterro logo Forterro

Software - London, United Kingdom

Forterro is a PE-backed European industrial ERP company, built through the acquisition of 40+ products across Europe.

Forterro GitLab

Forterro runs self-hosted GitLab EE at a single shared instance across their engineering org, with Microsoft Azure AD for SSO. GitLab Duo is enabled, including code suggestions, Duo Code Review, and agentic workflows. Their cloud operations stack is built around GitLab CI for pipelines and ArgoCD for GitOps deployments into Kubernetes on AWS.

What's notable is the context: Forterro is a rollup of dozens of acquired ERP products, and standardizing on one GitLab instance is part of how they bring those products onto a common engineering platform.


EveryMatrix logo EveryMatrix

Software - Valletta, Malta

EveryMatrix is a B2B iGaming software company providing casino, sports betting, payments, and affiliate management platforms to 300+ operators worldwide.

EveryMatrix GitLab

EveryMatrix runs a self-hosted GitLab EE instance at `git.everymatrix.com`, using LDAP for authentication. GitLab CI is their standard across the engineering org, and their deployment stack pairs it with ArgoCD for Kubernetes deployments on GCP.

GitLab also feeds into their application security process - security scanning is integrated directly into CI pipelines.


Qt Group logo Qt Group

Software - Espoo, Finland

Qt Group makes the Qt framework, a cross-platform development toolkit used by over 1.5 million developers to build applications for industrial equipment, vehicles, medical devices, and consumer electronics.

Qt Group GitLab

Qt runs GitLab Community Edition - the free, open-source version - at `git.qt.io` for hosting Qt's source code. This is publicly accessible, which fits Qt's open-source model. Authentication is through LDAP with Azure AD as an additional SSO option.

The CE choice is notable: unlike most enterprise GitLab deployments, Qt isn't using paid features or Duo AI - they're running the base open-source version, consistent with how an open-source project would approach their own code hosting.


Truist logo Truist

Financial Services - Charlotte, North Carolina

Truist is a top-10 US commercial bank with $535 billion in assets.

Truist uses GitLab CI as their standard pipeline platform across engineering, cybersecurity, and infrastructure. Their AI security team uses it to deploy AI guardrails and security tooling as code. Their internal developer platform runs a GitOps-first delivery system on GitLab, ArgoCD, OpenShift, and Ansible.

They run GitLab alongside Azure DevOps rather than having standardized on one. They appear to use GitLab SaaS rather than self-hosted or GitLab Dedicated - notable for a regulated bank of this size, where Comerica made the opposite call.


Medtronic logo Medtronic

Medical Equipment Manufacturing - Dublin, Ireland

Medtronic is one of the largest medical device companies in the world, with around 95,000 employees.

Medtronic GitLab

Medtronic uses GitLab Dedicated - the single-tenant SaaS deployment designed for regulated industries - at `medtronic.gitlab-dedicated.com`. They've enabled GitLab Duo including code suggestions, Code Review, and agentic workflows, and authenticate through a custom "Medtronic SSO" provider.

GitLab CI runs across embedded software, digital health platforms, and AI/ML - often explicitly in the context of FDA SaMD compliance requirements. Same compliance logic as Comerica: regulated industry, isolated single-tenant instance.


Snowflake logo Snowflake

Software - Bozeman, Montana

Snowflake makes a cloud data platform used by thousands of enterprises for data warehousing, analytics, and AI/ML workloads.

Snowflake GitLab

Snowflake runs GitLab Dedicated at `snow.gitlab-dedicated.com`, with Okta for SSO (internally branded "Snowbiz Okta"). GitLab Duo is enabled including code suggestions, Code Review, and agentic workflows. GitLab CI is their standard for building and deploying the platform itself.

Their security team also uses GitLab as one of their internal monitoring tools alongside CrowdStrike and other platforms. Snowflake sells data infrastructure to enterprises - choosing GitLab Dedicated for their own engineering puts them in the same bucket as Comerica and Medtronic.
