Source control management, continuous integration (CI), and continuous deployment (CD) are adopted to increase collaboration, speed up the research cycle, increase the repeatability of results, and meet public access policy requirements of funding agencies. By storing data and scientific models in central, public repositories linked to Docker containers, researchers can conduct reproducible tests, provide feedback, and collaborate in ways that are not possible without a single open DevOps platform. "GitLab program members are innovating on how research is done and speeding up the entire cycle from data to publication via GitLab's collaboration tools, CI/CD, and containerization," said Dr. Hupy.
