Battling toolchain technical debt

What this post added

This post discusses the concept of toolchain technical debt in the context of DevOps and argues for the adoption of a unified DevOps platform like GitLab to mitigate it. It highlights how a consolidated platform can reduce complexity, improve visibility, and enable automation across the SDLC, contrasting this with fragmented, homegrown toolchains. Specific GitLab features mentioned as solutions include dependency lists (SBOM) for scanning dependencies and Value Stream Analytics for optimizing IT resources.
