This post details the outcomes of the GitLab Transcend Hackathon, where developers built solutions on GitLab Orbit. Key technical implementations include agents that analyze blast radius, test impact, and migration costs by querying Orbit's dependency graph. Examples like Sankofa, Carver, and CrossCut showcase how Orbit's context enables features such as identifying downstream callers, pricing migrations, and running only relevant tests. The Contribute Track also saw 61 merge requests merged into the Orbit codebase, adding language support and fixing bugs.
