GitLab is an open-source code repository and collaborative software development platform for large-scale DevOps and DevSecOps projects. Azure Synapse, in turn, is a Microsoft Azure cloud-based service that brings together big data and data warehousing, making it possible to analyze large volumes of data from multiple sources using SQL-based analytics and machine learning.

With Erathos, you can integrate GitLab data into Azure Synapse in just a few minutes. Our platform handles the entire data movement process into your analytics environment and makes it easy to combine that data with other sources in your Data Warehouse. That means your time goes toward what really creates value — uncovering actionable insights and making more data-driven decisions.

### Which GitLab data does Erathos sync with Azure Synapse?

The integration automatically syncs GitLab's main objects:

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

### Why sync GitLab with Azure Synapse?

Centralizing GitLab data in Azure Synapse eliminates the manual work of exports and spreadsheets — and lets your team combine this information with other sources for analyses that were previously impossible. An automatically updated data warehouse is the foundation for faster, more reliable decisions.

### How it works

Erathos connects to GitLab through the official API and syncs your data incrementally — only new or updated records are processed in each run, keeping pipelines fast and Azure Synapse costs predictable. You choose the sync frequency (from every 5 minutes to daily), which objects to sync, and the destination dataset. Every run is logged with full observability: runtime, processed rows, errors with context, 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 Synapse in minutes with our native connector. Data is synced automatically—no code required, with full observability for every run.

### Total control over your GitLab pipelines

Configure frequency, sync type, and table distribution. Data arrives in Azure Synapse ready for analytical workloads and integration with Power BI.

### 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 in Azure Synapse has never been easier

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

## FAQ

### What is Erathos and how can it help my company?

Erathos is a data ingestion platform built for reliability, transparency, and control. We help data teams connect tools like GitLab to their data warehouse—with full observability into every pipeline run, zero maintenance, and none of the opacity of traditional market tools.

### What GitLab data does Erathos sync to Azure Synapse?

Erathos automatically syncs key GitLab objects and entities to Azure Synapse. To check which specific tables and fields are available in the GitLab connector, see our documentation or contact our support team.

### How often does Erathos synchronize data from GitLab to Azure Synapse?

You can configure the sync frequency from every 5 minutes up to daily, at the table level. Erathos uses incremental synchronization—only new or updated records are processed in each run, keeping the GitLab pipeline efficient and Azure Synapse costs predictable.

### What happens if a GitLab sync fails?

Erathos automatically detects failures and sends alerts to your email, Slack, or Discord with full context—not just "job failed." Smart retries handle transient errors, and every execution is logged with run time, processed rows, and error context so your team can debug in minutes, not hours.

### Is there a free trial period for the GitLab connector?

Yes. Every Erathos connector includes a 14-day free trial. Connect GitLab to Azure Synapse and start syncing immediately—no credit card required.
