Russian analogues of GitHub and GitLab

[tanjimajuha20]

According to Alexey Dedevich, GitLab and GitHub are platforms that do not provide access to open source, but allow you to create source, both open and restricted; GitLab can potentially be deployed in a "home" infrastructure, and GitHub is initially cloud-based.



In Russia, there are loca singapore whatsapp resourcel repositories of large companies: "RTK-Phoenix" ("Rostelecom"), "Sphere" (Holding T1),GitVerse("Sber"),GitFlic("ReSolut") and a library of open source solutionsMos.Hubfrom the Moscow government. In mid-April 2024, the Russian Ministry of Digital Development announced a decision to review the progress of the experiment to create a national open source repository in the Russian Federation.

Evgeny Kalashnikov, Head of Engineering Tools for the Sfera platform at T1 Holding, explains that the Sfera platform partially replaces both products - GitHub and GitLab: "When developing Sfera, Code and Sfera CI/CD, we took into account the capabilities of GitLab. In terms of functionality, the platform is comparable to the GitLab Premium solution and fully covers the capabilities of GitLab Community Edition. Unlike GitHub and GitLab, which focus on the B2C and B2B segments, we focus primarily on large businesses, and the cost depends on the number of users.

"AppSec.Code is a competitive product. However, there are many strong players on the market, so the appearance of the platform will not radically change the overall picture," says Evgeny Kalashnikov.

Kirill Pikhtovnikov, Deputy General Director for Production and Technical Director of Rostelecom IT, explained that RTK-Phoenix is ​​part of the ecosystem of Rostelecom IT products Lukomorye and RTK-Phoenix and offers developers not just a set of individual tools, but an environment for creating software products, going far beyond the functionality of GitLab or GitHub: "AppSec.Code and Lukomorye products solve similar problems, but differ greatly in specialization. Lukomorye is an ecosystem aimed at increasing the security and efficiency of software development, which offers the market an unprecedented level of functionality unavailable from competitors," he noted.

"RTK-Phoenix" optimizes software development security without the need to change the team's current processes and without the need to involve information security specialists in the teams. It reduces the costs of secure development by identifying vulnerabilities in open-source components and offering recommendations for their elimination. The product blocks the use of unsafe libraries and provides a full cycle of checking and storing artifacts (10+ formats) with automatic analysis of all dependencies. Additionally, the solution checks the Software Bill of Materials for vulnerabilities, automatically downloads recommended artifacts and provides information on open source licenses," added Kirill Pikhtovnikov.

Denis Ramazanov, Business Development Director at ReSolut (the Astra Group owns 51% of this company), said that their GitFlic platform has taken on the task of providing Russian developers with a cloud platform to consolidate the developer community in the Russian Federation, as well as to provide a worthy replacement for the departed vendors for corporate customers who would use premium tariffs and versions for local use on servers.
