This talk focuses on cloud-native deployment strategies and the migration from Jenkins to GitLab CI/CD in modern DevOps environments. It explains how organizations transition from traditional CI systems to more scalable and integrated pipelines using GitLab.

You will learn how a real-world engineering team replaced Jenkins with GitLab CI/CD to support a large-scale microservices architecture. The case study highlights how to build flexible testing and deployment systems for hundreds of services running in production.

The content explores the challenges of managing complex CI/CD systems and how GitLab CI helps simplify pipeline management through centralized configuration and automation. It also explains how CI/CD pipelines improve deployment speed, reliability, and scalability in cloud-native environments.

A key focus is on real-world DevOps practices, including continuous testing, deployment automation, and infrastructure scalability. You will also gain insights into the benefits and trade-offs of migrating from legacy CI tools to GitLab CI/CD.

By the end of this presentation, you will understand how large organizations design and manage CI/CD pipelines at scale, and how GitLab CI/CD supports modern cloud-native development workflows for microservices architectures.
