Code Studio
Acquia has partnered with GitLab to offer Code Studio, a complete
DevOps platform integrated with Cloud Platform that is optimized for
Drupal development. Acquia hosts and manages Code Studio (GitLab)
within Cloud Platform on our Next generation infrastructure.
Code Studio comes with pre-built automation to support low-configuration,
continuous integration, and continuous delivery of Drupal 8 or 9 projects
to applications hosted on Cloud Platform. You can extend and customize the
default pipeline configuration based on your needs.
Code Studio is fully supported by Acquia. For more information, see
Support Users Guide.
