GitLab is web-based Git repository manager. Whereas GitHub emphasizes infrastructure performance, GitLab’s focus is a features-oriented system. As an open-source collaborative platform, it enables developers to create code, review work, and deploy codebases collaboratively. It offers wiki, code reviews, built-in CI/CD, issue-tracking features, and much more.

The Snowflake platform is designed to empower many types of data workloads, and offers secure, immediate, governed access to a comprehensive network of data. Snowflake’s innovative technology goes above the capabilities of the ordinary database, supplying users all the functionality of database storage, query processing, and cloud services in one package.
