Thanks for using GitLab. We want to be supportive of cherry picking GitLab features. For example we just release CI/CD with GitLab for GitHub https://about.gitlab.com/features/github/

Is there something we can add to GitLab to make it more composable?

Thanks for the question, greatly appreciated. We used GitLab on k8s when we first transitioned, but we found there were a few things we didn't quite like about the GitLab-Omnibus helm setup, so we moved it off the cluster and used the AWS EC2 AMI which was really easy to setup.

We are going to start experimenting with the new cloud native GitLab chart, but it would need to gain some maturity before we use it in production.

Do you know if the new GitLab cloud native helm chart will allow you to turn-off certain things like mattermost and prometheus? That was something that we didn't like about the omnibus chart because it exposed several extra services/ports that we didn't really want to manage/think about at the time.

samm we are indeed making all components that are not core gitlab services optional. You will be able to turn them off with a simple `prometheus.enabled=false`.

Thanks for giving the charts a try in alpha/beta, please pass along any feedback. We'd love to get it!

Thanks for the good work on GitLab, I tell everyone I can how great of an experience it was to use it at my last company. The CI integration was GREAT, the ui is pretty nice and the maintenance overhead was minimal.

Thanks, great to hear that.
