# Application Development Platform
|
||||
|
||||
The GitLab Application Development Platform refers to the set of GitLab features that can be used by operations teams to
|
||||
provide a full development environment to internal software development teams.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The GitLab Application Development Platform aims to reduce and even eliminate the time it takes for an Operations team
|
||||
to provide a full environment for software developers, comprised of the following high-level elements:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Compute
|
||||
1. Build, test, deploy a wide range of applications
|
||||
1. Security
|
||||
1. Observability
|
||||
|
||||
We believe the use of these common building blocks equate to big gains for teams of all sizes, resulting from the adoption
|
||||
of newer, more efficient, more paid, and less error-prone techniques for shipping software applications.
|
||||
|
||||
### Compute
|
||||
|
||||
Because at GitLab we are [cloud-native first](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#cloud-native-first) our
|
||||
Application Development Platform will focus on providing robust support for Kubernetes first with other platforms
|
||||
to follow. Teams can bring their own clusters and we will additionally make it easy to create new infrastructure
|
||||
with various cloud providers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Build, test, deploy
|
||||
|
||||
In order to provide modern devops workflows, our Application Development Platform will rely on
|
||||
[Auto DevOps](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/) to provide those workflows. Auto DevOps works with
|
||||
any Kubernetes cluster; you're not limited to running on GitLab's infrastructure. Additoinally, Auto DevOps offers
|
||||
an incremental consumption path. Because it is [composable](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#using-components-of-auto-devops)
|
||||
you can as much or as little as you'd like as customize without having to start over on a completely different platform.
|
||||
|
||||
### Security
|
||||
|
||||
The Application Development Platform aims to ensure that applications developed with it are not affected by vulnerabilities
|
||||
that may lead to security problems and unintended use. This can be achieved by making use of the embeded security features of Auto DevOps
|
||||
which allow both security teams and developers to know if there is something that they should consider in their apps,
|
||||
before it is too late to create a fix. The following features are included:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Auto SAST (Static Application Security Testing)](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#auto-sast-ultimate)
|
||||
- [Auto Dependency Scanning](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#auto-dependency-scanning-ultimate)
|
||||
- [Auto Container Scanning](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#auto-container-scanning-ultimate)
|
||||
- [Auto DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#auto-dast-ultimate)
|
||||
|
||||
### Observability
|
||||
|
||||
Performance is a critical aspect of the user experience, and ensuring your application is responsive and available is everyone's
|
||||
responsibility. The Application Development Platform aims to integrate key performance analytics and feedback
|
||||
into GitLab, automatically. The following features are included:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Auto Monitoring](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#auto-monitoring)
|
||||
- [In-app Kubernetes Pod Logs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/clusters/kubernetes_pod_logs.html)
