Transforming App Modernisation: GitLab at NEXT25

GitLab Showcases at NEXT25: Redefining Application Modernisation

At the recent NEXT25 event in Las Vegas, GitLab revealed its leading innovations in enterprise application modernisation, delivering keynote insights and product showcases that highlight the pivotal role of AI-powered DevSecOps in cloud transformation. In collaboration with Accenture and Google Cloud, GitLab underlined its commitment to helping organisations accelerate software innovation while enhancing security and efficiency.

Jon Askins, VP of Enterprise at GitLab, led a powerful breakout session discussing modernisation strategies across sectors. He detailed GitLab’s essential role in enabling the shift from legacy systems to modern cloud infrastructures, powered by a unified DevSecOps platform. Customers heard how GitLab’s secure software development lifecycle facilitates swift adaptation in today’s competitive digital economy.

AI took centre stage as GitLab presented GitLab Duo, its suite of AI features designed to automate workflows, assist developers in writing code, and proactively enhance security. These AI-driven capabilities not only boost productivity, but also support quality across every step of the development pipeline, notably in heavily regulated, enterprise environments.

A key takeaway of the event was the rise of Platform Engineering. GitLab’s platform-centric approach to DevSecOps offers customers a single, unified solution to manage tools, processes, and compliance—all within a centralised environment. This streamlining significantly reduces friction, lowers costs, and supports better software faster.

From finance to energy, organisations are choosing GitLab to overcome the limitations of inconsistent toolchains and fragmented workflows. By integrating AI, automation, and built-in security, GitLab enables faster time-to-market, improved collaboration, and elevated operational resilience—critical outcomes as digital demands evolve.
