Rackspace Technology and Google Cloud Help GitLab Improve Time to Market
September 02 2020 - 11:05AM
Rackspace Technology™ (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, has been selected by
GitLab, the DevOps platform delivered as a single application used
by millions of users, to drive fast application development on
Google Cloud.
Seeking better service and support, GitLab decided to move its
hosted software-as-a-service offering, GitLab.com, to Rackspace
managed Google Cloud Platform. The Rackspace Technology team helped
GitLab migrate to Google Cloud, increasing performance, enhancing
security as well as guiding GitLab on a successful migration path
to Kubernetes. This migration to Kubernetes has enabled GitLab to
gain approximately 1.5x improvement in deployment speed on the
service level.
GitLab is currently migrating its production GitLab.com
workloads to Kubernetes including several critical services,
improving resilience and lowering the cost of running these
services. Additionally, GitLab is adopting many other Google Cloud
Platform services, including BigQuery, Google PubSub, Cloud
Functions, Cloud Run, Stackdriver Continuous Profiling, and Cloud
SQL.
“Working with Google Cloud and Rackspace Technology lets us
offer customers three essential capabilities for digital
transformation,” says Brandon Jung, Vice President of Alliances at
GitLab. “We help customers develop and quickly ship their software,
Google Cloud makes sure that their code can run, scale, and stay
available, and Rackspace Technology provides the support engine for
the entire platform.”
Stanley Anderson, Rackspace Technology Senior Director and
Global Lead, Google Cloud Partnership and Solutions, “GitLab and
Google Cloud, enabled by Intel® technologies, are aiming to lower
the barrier of adoption for customers looking to architect
scalable, cloud-native solutions.” Anderson adds, “Rackspace
Technology can help companies accelerate this digital
transformation and realize more value from Google Cloud. They won’t
be bottlenecked, because they have a partner like Rackspace
Technology that’s ready to help.”
“We partner with Rackspace Technology because we have the utmost
respect for the way they treat customers,” says Brandon Jung, Vice
President of Alliances at GitLab. “The GitLab.com instance is the
largest GitLab instance in the world, and it runs with high
performance on Google Cloud,” he continues. “Rackspace Technology
has the expertise to help customers like GitLab build, ship, and
patch because they see it every day at scale.”

the Year Awards and holds multiple Google Cloud Platform
