GitLab is one of the most used services for software development management. It is often positioned as one of the alternatives to GitHub owned by Microsoft.
Most recently, Reuters reported that GitLab is looking for a new owner, and is attracting several buyers to acquire the firm. At current valuations, GitLab is valued at around $8 billion, and has several investors, including Google.
It is said that one of the companies interested in acquiring GitLab is DataDog, which is a firm focused on cloud computing monitoring.
Today, GitLab competes with GitHub in terms of market offerings. With Microsoft's support, it can be said that GitLab faces a high challenge in attracting new users and customers. Perhaps with a takeover by another cloud company, it will help further strengthen the company through service subscription bundles.
Anyway, let's all look forward to the development and who will buy GitLabl
