Building an Automated Engineering Telemetry Pipeline with GitLab CI/CD

Managing engineering velocity across numerous repositories and AI engines is challenging when relying on manual reports. Modern DevOps environments utilize GitLab CI/CD to build automated, serverless telemetry pipelines using REST and GraphQL for ground truth data. Simultaneously, GitLab enhances security through its built-in DevSecOps suite. By integrating SAST and secret detection directly into the .gitlab-ci.yml pipeline, organizations can prevent leaked API keys and vulnerabilities like SQL injection without requiring expensive third-party SaaS security subscriptions.
