This post details the rationale behind financial services choosing single-tenant SaaS like GitLab Dedicated. It highlights the systemic risks of shared infrastructure, regulatory concerns (concentration risk, data sovereignty), and the amplification effect of third-party risks. It then positions GitLab Dedicated as a solution offering complete isolation, purpose-built infrastructure, hosted runners with private links, auto-scaling, BYOK encryption, selectable data residency, and compliance support (audit trails, SOX, GLBA). It also touches on high availability, disaster recovery, and a zero-maintenance approach to CI/CD infrastructure.
