DevOps is whole set of tools. Gitlab includes features like monitoring, code scanning, Kubernetes integration, docker registry, cloud security and protections. And those are $1188 per year per person. By CI/CD I mean good old Jenkins that runs on a computer in the office that builds iOS Apps and uploads them to Apple AppStore (of course current generation of CI/CD is much better). Gitlab CI/CD and runners were there much before this "Gitlab is the one DevOps platform" saga.Everyone in our company including HR, marketing, design people were also using Gitlab for task tracking. Therefore we need those fancy issue tracking features for better management. This features are in the tier that $1188/year per person. For the features we don't use is not something that we could afford.
