Private by default
Fast, low-cost dedicated GitLab runners
Your own private VM from just $0.018/hr, on GitLab.com or your own self-hosted instance. No queue, no setup, no server to patch. And @rocket, an AI teammate, is built in.
48-hour free trial. Card required. No charge until your trial ends.
Two starting points
A self-managed GitLab ships with no runners, so where you begin depends on which one you're on.
// on gitlab.com
You use GitLab.com
Your runners are too slow
Jobs queue behind everyone else's workload
Every job starts with a cold cache
400 CI minutes a month on the Free tier
// self-managed
You run your own GitLab
You have no runners at all
Omnibus installs CI/CD and no runners
Pipelines stay pending until you supply compute
Then you own patching that machine forever
// setup
How it works
