STACKIT Git - Managed GitLab

What is STACKIT Git?

STACKIT Git is a fully managed GitLab platform in German data centers for version control, CI/CD automation, and DevOps workflows. The service offers unlimited Git repositories, integrated container registry, CI/CD pipelines with STACKIT runners, and code security features. As a German cloud provider, STACKIT guarantees that source code never leaves German data centers.

Core Features

• Unlimited Repositories: Private and public Git repositories with full history
• GitLab CI/CD: Automated pipelines for build, test, and deployment with .gitlab-ci.yml
• Container Registry: Integrated Docker registry with vulnerability scanning
• Security Scanning: SAST, dependency scanning, container scanning, and secret detection
• Issue Tracking: Boards, milestones, and labels for agile project management

Typical Use Cases

Source Code Management: Companies host proprietary source code in STACKIT Git instead of GitHub. All repositories, commits, and branches remain in Germany with granular access controls.

CI/CD Pipeline Automation: DevOps teams define pipelines as code that automatically trigger on every commit. Pipelines build containers, run tests, and deploy to Kubernetes.

Compliance-Driven Development: Banks and healthcare companies use audit trails, signed commits, and branch protection for regulatory requirements.

Benefits

• GDPR-compliant: Source code and build artifacts in German data centers
• No US dependency: Alternative to GitHub and GitLab.com
• DevOps-ready: CI/CD, container registry, and Kubernetes integration
• BSI-C5 certified: Meets compliance requirements for regulated industries
