Who Should Choose GitLab CI vs Atmosly?

Both platforms serve different needs. Here's how to decide.

Choose GitLab CI If:

  • You need simple CI/CD tightly coupled with GitLab repos
  • Basic approval rules are sufficient
  • Your deployments don't require advanced governance
  • Policy enforcement isn't a priority
  • GitOps workflows aren't needed

Choose Atmosly If:

  • You need policy-as-code enforcement (OPA/Rego)
  • Multi-level approvals with complex RBAC are required
  • Hybrid GitOps (push + pull CD) is part of your strategy
  • Advanced Kubernetes deployment strategies are essential
  • Multi-cluster management is needed
  • Cost optimization and FinOps are priorities
  • Deployment evidence and compliance are critical
