Self-hosted GitLab with CI/CD runners, container registry, and Canadian data sovereignty.
GitLab.com is convenient — until compliance, IP protection, or CI minute costs push your team toward self-hosting. Swift Host provides managed GitLab CE or EE on Canadian infrastructure with PostgreSQL, Redis, Gitaly tuning, and GitLab Runner configuration.
We handle upgrades, backup verification, SSL certificates, and runner scaling so your developers focus on shipping code — not maintaining a DevOps platform. Integrate with Docker registries, Kubernetes deploy targets, or traditional VPS deployments.
Source code, CI artifacts, and container images stay in Canada — ideal for government contractors, healthcare-adjacent software, and teams with strict data residency requirements.
Self-hosted GitLab is powerful — and operationally heavy. Upgrades break things, runners run out of disk, and backup restores are untested until you need them. We manage the GitLab infrastructure so your developers keep shipping.

Docker, shell, or Kubernetes executors sized for your pipeline volume and build requirements.
Built-in GitLab registry for Docker images with cleanup policies and storage monitoring.
Active Directory, Google Workspace, SAML, and OAuth integration for team access management.
SAST, dependency scanning, and container scanning (EE) configured and kept current.
Automated backups, tested restores, and planned upgrade paths following GitLab release cycles.
When does running your own GitLab make business sense?
| Feature | Swift Host GitLab | GitLab.com SaaS |
|---|---|---|
| Canadian data residency | Included | US/EU regions |
| CI minute limits | Your hardware, your limits | Per-seat minute caps |
| Private runner control | Full control | Shared or costly dedicated |
| Source code jurisdiction | Canadian courts only | US provider terms |
| Ongoing management | We maintain the platform | GitLab manages SaaS |
| Long-term cost at scale | Predictable VPS pricing | Per-user SaaS adds up |
| Direct Alberta support | Named team | GitLab support tiers |
Your GitLab instance holds source code, CI variables, container images, and internal documentation. For government contractors, healthcare software vendors, and companies with valuable IP, storing that on US SaaS infrastructure is a compliance and business risk.

When you need Canadian data residency, unlimited private runners, custom CI configurations, or lower long-term cost at scale. We help you evaluate the tradeoffs honestly.
Yes. We migrate repositories, CI configs, and runner setups with minimal developer disruption.
We size runners based on your pipeline frequency, Docker build requirements, and concurrent job count — and scale as your team grows.
We host both. CE covers most teams; EE adds advanced security scanning, compliance features, and premium support options from GitLab.
We plan upgrades during maintenance windows, take pre-upgrade backups, and follow GitLab's upgrade path documentation to avoid version skips.
Yes. Docker executor runners with privileged mode configured securely for CI/CD image builds.
For larger teams, we design HA and Geo configurations. Contact us to assess whether your scale warrants the investment.
Automated gitlab-backup runs with offsite retention. We verify restores periodically — not just assume backups work.
