Questions

## GitLab CI: frequently asked

GitLab.com or self-managed GitLab?

GitLab.com removes maintenance work. Self-managed suits strict data or network requirements but needs upgrades, backups and monitoring.

How do we speed up slow pipelines?

Cache dependencies, run jobs in parallel, only run what changed, and use faster runners. We measure first so effort goes to the slowest steps.
