How we deploy the largest GitLab instance 12 times daily (12 minute read)
GitLab deploys code to GitLab.com up to 12 times daily using its own CI/CD platform, leveraging Canary deployments, progressive rollouts, and multiversion compatibility to ensure zero downtime. The deployment pipeline manages both containerized and traditional services, runs backward-compatible database migrations in Canary before post-deploy changes, and validates every stage through automated tests to maintain stability at scale.

Agent Lightning (GitHub Repo)
Agent Lightning is a new trainer designed to streamline the development and improvement of AI agents. It allows developers to focus on their ideas by minimizing implementation complexities. The trainer integrates with any existing agent framework, collecting prompt, tool call, and reward events into a central "LightningStore" which then feeds an algorithm to continuously refine agent performance.
