"Our migration to GitLab CI from Jenkins" - 11/5

Proposal

Post based on talk from Commit London:

"adSoul GmbH moved from a GitHub / Jenkins hosting to the single solution GitLab. We choose GitLab.com as our product to use, along with the CI solution. In this talk I will give an insight why we had chose the hosted version and how we use the CI of it. We are providing our own GitLab Runner in a private data centre and we had a lot of struggles, so there will be tips and tricks how to make it possible and get the maximum of it. For context our services based on java's framework 'spring boot' and have a Vue Frontend."
