Teams speed development with GitLab & Mattermost ChatOps

What this post added

This post details the integration of Mattermost for ChatOps with GitLab. It highlights how Mattermost can be used to interact with CI/CD jobs through messaging, with output posted back to chat channels. Specific examples include a GitLab plugin for Mattermost that provides notifications for new issues, review requests, daily reminders, and sidebar buttons for tracking reviews, unread messages, assignments, and open merge requests. It also describes how GitLab commits can be pushed to a Mattermost channel via webhooks for management visibility and how separate 'Heartbeat' channels can be used for application event notifications.
