- The configuration file, `.gitlab-ci.yml`, is also yaml, but I'm not sure how different they are. - GitLab CI/CD is also open source! But the code-base is Ruby. I prefer Buildbot since it's written in Python. - Not sure if GitLab CI/CD can exist without a GitLab instance. Buildbot can be spun up and ran regardless of where your code is kept.
