Why teams switch from GitLab
Simpler is faster. GitLab does everything: issues, boards, CI, CD, security, packages, wikis, analytics. Most teams use a fraction. gittan.eu does one thing well — git hosting with gated pipelines — and stays out of the way for everything else.
SSO should not cost $29/user. GitLab gates SSO behind Premium at $29 per user per month. gittan.eu includes identity verification with your company account on every plan, including the free tier.
Merge requests add latency. GitLab's workflow is branch, MR, review, merge. gittan.eu replaces that with gated pipelines: push to main, the pipeline runs every check your org requires, and you see the result in your terminal. No branches, no waiting.
CLOUD Act is the real risk. GitLab Inc. is a US company subject to the CLOUD Act regardless of where data is stored. gittan.eu is operated by a Swedish company on European-owned infrastructure in Paris and Amsterdam. Your code and repository data have no CLOUD Act exposure.
