CircleCI Vs. GitLab: Choosing The Right CI/CD Tool

1

CircleCI

CircleCI, like GitLab, is a modern CI/CD solution. This tool automates the “build, test, deploy workflow of an SDLC.” CircleCI can be used in the cloud as a SaaS tool with an option to run self-hosted runners for better supervising security aspects. Alternatively, you may also consider installing the CircleCI platform on your private server and have 100% control over it.

GitLab

GitLab positions itself as a SaaS-based holistic DevSecOps platform. What does that mean? It means it is a web-based git repository that allows you to plan your software and manage the entire development & operations cycle from managing source code to issue tracking, code integration, continuous testing, delivery, and deployment. It attempts to eliminate toolchain complexities involved in agile development methodology. In short, GitLab is a complete ecosystem for DevSecOps. For brevity and fair comparison, let’s limit ourselves to a niche GitLab product, i.e., GitLab CI/CD.
