Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
GitLab 19.0 has been released, positioning itself as an intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps. The release includes expanded secrets management (Secrets Manager in public beta), agentic merge request workflows, improved CI pipeline visibility, support for self-hosted open-source models (four open source models for Duo), and enhanced supply chain visibility. The article frames GitLab's strategy as moving from individual DevSecOps tools to a fully coordinated, all-in-one platform approach.
