Airbnb Modernizes Build and Deploy with GitLab
Airbnb, a consumer discretionary organization in the United States, uses GitLab CI/CD from GitLab to support continuous delivery for engineering teams.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for build and deploy |
| Capability | Continuous delivery stays visible to adjacent teams through GitLab CI/CD |
| Capability | Engineering teams work from the same GitLab CI/CD record for build and deploy |
Story
Airbnb grew build and deploy faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Engineering teams were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out GitLab CI/CD put continuous delivery on GitLab. GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application. Airbnb keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so engineering teams do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier continuous delivery. Build and deploy is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join engineering teams without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
