Case Study: MGA achieves 5x faster project delivery and scalable CI/CD with GitLab

How MGA builds projects 5 times faster with GitLab

MGA, a Poland-based technology firm, faced poor collaboration, fragmented documentation, low code quality, and overloaded IT admins while using Mercurial and ad hoc CI tools. Looking for a cost-efficient, self-hosted solution, MGA chose GitLab (GitLab EE) to standardize version control, CI/CD, code review and knowledge sharing.

By adopting GitLab EE, MGA implemented automated CI/CD pipelines, automatic code scanners, a single knowledge base, and streamlined code review processes. The change enabled projects to grow from 80 to 240, delivered a 10× better success rate for CD versus manual deploys, saved about 80% of deployment time, doubled developer capacity while keeping three IT admins, and substantially improved collaboration and code quality — all driven by GitLab.
