Global Agility: How a Remote-Only Workforce Stays Agile
Transparency is vital to an all-remote company (900+ employees) and contributes heavily to healthy collaboration at a company where no one works in a physical office. In this digital age of remote work, building out a successful, iterative process that leads to a culture that embraces diversity and provides a universal platform for all to contribute. Agile has been precedent in technical roles but this expands how the business side (Marketing, HR, Sales) also embraces being agile as they look to stay inline with the product side.

David DeSanto - Senior Director, Product Management - Security at GitLab
The “shift left” approach is not a new concept within software testing and DevOps best practices and it is commonly thought of when discussing DevSecOps. This usually includes security testing earlier in the software development lifecycle with the goal of identifying security vulnerabilities and weaknesses prior to shipping code to operations. However, “shift security left” is commonly interpreted to be “get developers to run security tools”. This approach is fraught with issues as it requires developers to context switch out of their workflow, learn and use new tools, understand the output of these new tools, and file bugs to be remediated (in yet another tool). The “shift left” approach requires a harder shift left, bringing security testing as close as possible to the developer while not expecting them to learn new tools. Furthermore, security results need to be contextual and provide actionable next steps so they can be resolved as quickly as possible. Finally, security scans need to finish in minutes, not in hours or days. A harder shift left empowers you and your organization as it applies repeatable, defensible processes that automate security and compliance policies from the first line of code written.
In this session, we will discuss:
• Common pitfalls when implementing traditional “shift left” security
• How to best apply different security scanning techniques available
• Embedding security scanning into the developer workflow
• Automating secure development best practices
Itzik Gan-Baruch, Sr. Technical Marketing Manager at GitLab
Join this live demo to learn how GitLab's complete DevOps platform with built-in CI/CD enables DevOps teams to build, test, and deploy from a single application. This increases efficiency, promotes end-to-end collaboration, and provides greater visibility across your entire software development lifecycle.
At this event, you will:
- See a brief demo on GitLab’s built-in CI; learn how easy it is to submit code changes, commit them, and quickly scan your code for errors through a single interface
- Learn how GitLab CI helps Developers, DevOps engineers, and Development team leads work better together
- Have the opportunity to get your questions answered by a GitLab team member with subject matter expertise
CI automates building and testing software in place of manual work, allowing developers to iterate more frequently and gain faster feedback. It also helps catch potential errors and vulnerabilities in the codebase before they turn into bigger problems. With GitLab, you can take automation one step further by integrating security directly into your pipeline for a true “shift-left” experience.
Join this webcast to learn how GitLab can help you keep your pipelines secure. We will also do a hands-on demonstration and show you best practices.
In this webcast, we will cover:
- Why you should “shift left” to bring security into the process earlier
- How CI enables security to shift-left
- A demonstration on how to secure your pipelines using built-in security features

William Chia, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Cloud Native & GitOps
The practice of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) is fundamental to modern software development. And yet, many organizations are still using slow, error-prone, manual processes to build, test, and deploy their software. Think what life could be like if, instead of sitting in endless change management meetings, you could get your code to production simply by merging to master while automation takes care of the rest.
All too frequently, it is IT leadership and executives who need to be convinced that making a large investment in updating tools, training, and culture will net returns greater than the cost. Learning a bit about how to advocate for budget and organizational change can go a long way.
In this webcast, we’ll discuss:
How to make a strong business case for CI/CD
Approaches to getting started with CI/CD
Measuring the results of test CI/CD automation
Alan Brown, Professor and Author, University of Exeter, John Jeremiah, Product Marketing Leader & DevOps Evangelist
Most organisations today are engaged in digital transformation programmes incorporating
cloud native environments and agile development techniques such as DevOps. For IT
leaders, the new frontiers also include Microservices, Containers and Kubernetes. These
powerful tools offer a rapid response to changing business needs compared with traditional
‘waterfall’ techniques. Commercial enterprises welcome such advances, especially in such
an uncertain business environment.
Distinguished speakers are examining in this virtual roundtable how modern, complete DevOps platforms such as Gitlab can address these current issues and thus accelerate the speed and
consistency of digital transformation across your organisation.

For Hotjar, reaching this point wasn't easy. Managing a team of over 100 distributed across 18 countries is a challenge. Bringing them together to adopt CI best practices to deploy to Kubernetes was downright painful.
After much trial and error, the team found a system to install runners locally and connect all the dots. They were then able to source code and automate builds and deploys through Kubernetes all in one place.
Find out how to take the pain away from the transition to distributed teams and start collaborating with the latest tech in this exclusive webinar.
Key points:
- Discover how a global team coordinates 2 to 15 deployments per day
- Find out how Hotjar operate 30% faster than they did with previous tool chains
- Learn how to easily source code, pipelines and declarative deploy manifest using GitLab
