DevSecOps Excellence: Migrating Enterprises to GitLab Dedicated

In the context of a global digital initiative, a major player in the automotive cloud space partnered with demicon to modernise and consolidate its software development infrastructure. The mission: migrate from multiple fragmented Git systems to a single, secure GitLab Dedicated environment – purpose-built for scalability, compliance, and enterprise readiness.

Complex Requirements, Unified Vision

The migration involved a multi-faceted landscape, with development assets spread across GitLab.com, GitHub Enterprise, and a self-managed GitLab instance. Added to this were strict internal compliance policies, a complex identity management system, and the need to implement a self-hosted GitLab Runner infrastructure in AWS.

Each of these starting points brought unique challenges – from restricted admin access and incomplete data transfers to CI/CD pipeline breakdowns and identity integration issues.

The Outcome: Resilience, Automation, Compliance

Through a strategic and highly customised migration approach, demicon delivered:

• A centralised GitLab Dedicated platform supporting secure, efficient development workflows
• Seamless identity integration aligned with enterprise access policies
• Automation across CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure provisioning on AWS
• A future-ready setup that supports scale, performance, and innovation

“This project showcases demicon’s ability to deliver tailored DevSecOps solutions that align with complex enterprise requirements. It’s a strong testament to our strategic partnership with GitLab and our commitment to technical excellence.”
