Reviewer scorecard
“Self-hosted option with complete CI/CD and security scanning. The single-platform approach reduces tool sprawl.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“If you need self-hosted git with built-in CI/CD, GitLab is the clear choice. The all-in-one approach saves integration headaches.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“GitHub's ecosystem and Actions marketplace have won the mindshare battle. GitLab is strong for enterprise self-hosted.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
