GitLab is an open-source code repository and collaborative software development platform for large DevOps and DevSecOps projects. Azure SQL Server, on the other hand, is a serverless Big Data solution developed by Google that provides robust storage and large-scale data analysis capabilities.

With Erathos, you can integrate GitLab data into Azure SQL Server in just a few minutes. Our platform handles the entire data movement process to your analytical environment, allowing this data to be joined with other sources in your data warehouse. This keeps your time focused on what actually drives value — extracting valuable insights and making more data-driven decisions.

### What GitLab data does Erathos sync to Azure SQL Server?

The integration automatically syncs key GitLab objects:

- **Core entities** — automatically synced objects and records
- **Custom fields** — personalized properties included in the sync
- **Historical data** — full initial load and incremental updates

### Why sync GitLab to Azure SQL Server?

In Azure SQL Server, you integrate GitLab data with the Microsoft ecosystem, using Power BI for executive dashboards and Azure Data Factory for broader pipeline orchestration.

### How it works

Erathos connects to GitLab via official API and syncs your data incrementally — only new or updated records are processed in each run, keeping pipelines fast and Azure SQL Server costs predictable. You choose the sync frequency (from 5 minutes to daily), the objects to sync, and the target dataset. Every execution is logged with full observability: run time, processed rows, contextualized errors, and instant alerts via Slack or email if anything goes wrong.

## Data in your data warehouse in minutes

### Ready-to-use GitLab connector

Connect GitLab to Azure SQL Server in minutes with our native connector. Automatically sync your data — no-code and with full observability for every pipeline run.

### Total control over your GitLab pipelines

Configure schedule, frequency, and sync type at the table level. Erathos uses smart UPSERTs on Azure SQL Server, ensuring data consistency and native integration with Power BI and the Microsoft ecosystem.

### End-to-end observability

Stop finding out about GitLab failures only after the business team complains. Every run is logged with runtime, rows processed, and error context. Automatic alerts via Slack, Discord, or email the moment anything deviates from expected behavior — so your data stays fresh and ready for analysis.

## Centralizing GitLab data into Azure SQL Server has never been easier

Erathos is a data ingestion platform built for reliability, visibility, and control. With the Gitlab connector, you can automatically move operational and business data to Azure SQL Server — with complete observability into every run and zero maintenance.
