Customer Story: Why Vaadin chose GitLab

This post details Vaadin's migration from a disparate toolchain (Gitolite, Trac, etc.) to a single GitLab instance for centralized project management, reduced administrative overhead, and improved developer experience. It highlights the ease of installation and migration using Omnibus, the self-service nature of setup, and the simplified maintenance with a single server and configuration file. The post also touches on the importance of developer choice and how GitLab's integrated tooling (issue trackers, code review, cross-linking) improved workflow, collaboration, and communication.
