GitLab ChatOps

2017–2018

GitLab is making its ChatOps feature, which allows users to run commands from chat platforms like Slack and Mattermost, available to everyone. This feature is being open-sourced to encourage wider adoption and community contributions. The goal is to enhance ChatOps by integrating monitoring, queryability, permissions (RBAC), zero-config setup, and consistency, leveraging GitLab's single application for the DevOps lifecycle to provide out-of-the-box functionality for deployments and metrics. The acquisition of Gitter will also lead to improved GitLab integration, including 'Login with GitLab' and the ability to create chat rooms from GitLab groups and projects.
