Product Leader from GitLab here - In support of what Mitchell said. One lesson we learned from Auto DevOps is that composability and transparency were key. Just like you mentioned tinco - users struggled when things eventually broke - or they wanted to customize beyond the out of the box customizations that were available. That's why we evolved to have composable Auto DevOps[1] and Helm installs via CI/CD pipelines.[2]

Hey, yeah sorry I didn't mention that. We were a pretty early adopter I guess, we've been on it for well over a year now and it's evolved a lot since then. That it's now split up in separate modules makes it much easier to work with. Something that I couldn't find back then was tutorials or blog posts on how to really work with it, not just deploy happy case apps. The product wasn't very popular yet so there was really no community producing that kind of blog post.

Also that the Gitlab issues have now merged into one repository has made reporting an issue so much clearer. You guys are constantly improving at such a rapid pace, definitely kudos for that.
