Managed infrastructure

Gerrit operated as a production review platform

Assistance runs Gerrit for teams that depend on change-based code review but do not want Gerrit administration, upgrades, plugins, backups, and CI integration to become a side project.

On-request / scoped service

Managed Gerrit is scoped around your review workflow, plugin set, identity provider, CI integration, and hosting requirements.

Gerrit lifecycle operations

We operate the Gerrit runtime, upgrades, backups, monitoring, and incident response inside an agreed support boundary.

Review workflow support

Submit requirements, labels, permissions, plugins, and replication are maintained as part of the platform operating model.

CI/CD integration

We help connect Gerrit events to Jenkins, Zuul, Tekton, or existing pipeline systems for reliable verification feedback.

Service playbook

From problem to operating evidence

Main content is structured like a case study: context first, scoped work next, then the operating changes and evidence a team can use after handoff.

Service briefManaged scopeDeployment modelsOperating boundariesOnboarding process

Managed Gerrit is for teams using Gerrit's change-based review model for large repositories, regulated development, multi-repository workflows, or projects where commit-level review and submit rules matter more than pull request conventions.

Use case	Why Gerrit fits
Change-based code review	Review atomic changes with patch sets, labels, and submit requirements
Regulated engineering	Enforce explicit approvals, verification, audit trails, and controlled submit paths
Large multi-repo programs	Support workflows common in Android-style, embedded, platform, and vendor ecosystems
CI-gated submission	Integrate verification results before changes enter protected branches

Case-study lens

Scoped

Problem, responsibility, and handoff boundaries before implementation.

Evidence

Dashboards, runbooks, reviews, and operating records over borrowed logos.

Outcomes

Conservative summaries focused on observable operational improvement.

EvidenceSection 01

Managed scope

Runbooks, dashboards, reviews, and handoff material make the work auditable.

Area	Assistance operates
Provisioning	Gerrit installation, sizing, storage, networking, TLS, and secure baseline configuration
Lifecycle	Version upgrades, plugin compatibility checks, maintenance windows, and rollback planning
Reliability	Backups, restore procedures, monitoring, alerting, and incident triage
Identity and access	LDAP, SAML/OIDC, group mapping, permissions review, and admin handoff
CI integration	Event stream integration, verification labels, build feedback, and pipeline connectivity

Assistance operates the Gerrit platform. Your team owns repository policy, code ownership, reviewer expectations, and product-specific submit rules unless those governance decisions are explicitly included in the engagement.

Operating modelSection 02

Deployment models

Responsibilities, response paths, and technical changes are made explicit before work starts.

Model	When to use it
Dedicated Gerrit instance	Teams that need a private review platform with predictable operations
Gerrit in your cloud account	Organizations with existing cloud networking, identity, or compliance controls
Gerrit on Kubernetes	Teams standardizing delivery platforms on Kubernetes and GitOps workflows
Migration engagement	Move from self-hosted Gerrit, GitLab/GitHub review flows, or legacy SCM tooling into an operated Gerrit model

OutcomeSection 03

Operating boundaries

Expected changes are framed as practical operating improvements, not unsupported guarantees.

Responsibility	Assistance	Customer team
Platform runtime	Install, configure, monitor, patch, back up, restore, and operate Gerrit	Consume Gerrit safely from developer workflows
Review model	Configure labels, permissions, submit requirements, and plugins by agreement	Define approval policy, ownership rules, and team workflow expectations
CI/CD	Integrate Gerrit events with agreed pipeline systems	Own build logic, test coverage, and release criteria
Security	Maintain platform hardening, TLS, access controls, and audit support	Manage user lifecycle, repository sensitivity, and internal approval policy

Operating modelSection 04

Onboarding process

The section clarifies how production responsibilities change once the service is in place.

Assessment step

1. Review workflow assessment

We review your repositories, branch model, reviewer groups, CI expectations, identity provider, and existing Gerrit or code review pain points.

Operating step

2. Platform design

We define hosting location, sizing, authentication, backup policy, monitoring, plugin set, and CI integration path.

What changes

3. Provision and migrate

We deploy Gerrit, configure access, migrate projects where needed, connect pipelines, and validate patch-set and submit workflows.

What changes

4. Operate and improve

We run updates, monitor health, review incidents, support plugin changes, and adjust capacity or workflow configuration as usage grows.

Decision points and common questions are made explicit so follow-up work is scoped cleanly.

Managed GitLab — Full DevSecOps platform operations when GitLab is the preferred delivery system
Managed Self-Hosted Runners — CI/CD runner capacity that can verify Gerrit changes
Managed Jenkins and CI/CD support — Pipeline operations around Gerrit-driven delivery
Managed Prometheus — Monitoring and alerting for Gerrit and supporting services

FAQ

Decision points and common questions are made explicit so follow-up work is scoped cleanly.

Can you migrate an existing Gerrit instance? Yes. We can assess your current Gerrit version, plugins, authentication, project configuration, repositories, and backup state before planning a migration or upgrade path.

Can Gerrit integrate with our CI system? Yes. Gerrit commonly integrates with Jenkins, Zuul, Tekton, and custom automation through events, REST APIs, SSH, and verification labels.

Do you manage Gerrit plugins? Yes, within an agreed plugin set. We review compatibility during upgrades and treat plugins as part of the supported operating boundary.

Can Gerrit run in our own cloud account? Yes. We can operate Gerrit in your cloud or private environment when access, networking, backup, and responsibility boundaries are clearly scoped.
