How we increased our release velocity with GitLab

What this post added

This post details Evolphin's migration from Subversion to GitLab, resulting in a 30-40% increase in release velocity. The technical improvements include adopting a merge request workflow for code review and approval, utilizing feature branches for parallel development, and integrating GitLab with Jenkins for CI/CD and JetBrains YouTrack for issue tracking. The use of GitLab Wikis for internal documentation and collaboration is also highlighted. The transition from a slow, manual branching and merging process in Subversion to a more agile, cloud-based development model in GitLab is the core technical contribution.
