> As Sijbrandij stressed, while most people still look at GitLab as a GitHub and Bitbucket competitor [...] GitLab wants to be far more than that. It now offers products in nine categories

So basically, instead of being a GitHub competitor, it is now an Atlassian competitor.

Atlassian is indeed broader then just BitBucket and a better comparison. GitLab does a broader offering than Atlassian by including things like packaging, monitoring, and security. And GitLab is a single application instead of a suite of tools with different data models.

The offering in most categories is already good enough (for our little startup in Amsterdam), and we're still on the free tier! We only have to use a single integrated SaaS offering which fits almost all of our needs. The CI/CD is far beyond "good enough": it is fantastic, especially with runners on EC2 auto-scaling. Congrats on closing this round Sytse!
