Just another kind comment for GitLab CI: we deployed it on prem and built a whole data analysis and quality tracking system for a clinical trial on top. I know it’s not the most powerful thing out there but for our small deadline-ridden team the comprehensive and all in one nature + on-prem is just awesome.

Wow that's awesome! Can you share any more about the system you built?

It’s a statistic model for epilepsy. We have GitLab running alongside dedicated NFS server for the data, build Docker images with the code, run them with access to the data, and put quality control images and reports on GitLab CI as artifacts. Each patient gets a branch, triggers CI runner generating patient reports. It took a while to figure it out but it’s really good for a dev team lacking in discipline ;)

Awesome! Have you looked at our Meltano project for data?

Briefly but the ETL stuff a little enterprisey for me. The ability to incorporate notebooks as part of the workflow definitely looks interesting, but I don’t think the heavy data sets we have would warehouse well in PostGres, we would need blobs or an NFS filer anyhow.
