| Capability | Environment provisioning stays visible to adjacent teams through GitLab Issues |
Story
SkyWater did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed environment provisioning to move. In the United States, platform engineers already knew where infrastructure as code went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
GitLab Issues from GitLab is now in that path. GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application. The company treats it as production tooling for environment provisioning, which is why platform engineers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
SkyWater can show how infrastructure as code is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run environment provisioning on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
