GitLab is open core version control software. The Community Edition is open source and can be self-hosted, while a proprietary version adds further features on top of that open source base.
GitLab is listed here as self-hosted and open source, which means the project is not necessarily European. What makes it a European alternative is running the Community Edition on your own or on European infrastructure. It suits organisations that want a complete development platform under their own administration.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
Public website
Why this matters
Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.
Incoming business email
Why this matters
Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.
