But the core of GitLab is our open source community, and in 2019 our community made plenty of valuable contributions in merge requests, feature fixes, and security checks! Explore some of the 2019 highlights for the GitLab product, community, and company.\n\n- [Product highlights](#product)\n- [Community highlights](#community)\n- [Company highlights](#company)\n\n\n## Product\n\nWe introduced many exciting new features to help our GitLab product better serve the needs of our users.\n\n### Multi-level child epics make project management a breeze\n\nBefore our 11.7 release, epics were limited to a two-level structure, but [in 11.7 we introduced multi-level child epics](/releases/2019/01/22/gitlab-11-7-released/#multi-level-child-epics), so you can now have an ancestor epic that contains up to five levels of child epics, as well as issues. This feature allows longer-term work strategies to be defined in ancestor epics, with strategy and deliverables being articulated in the lower tiers.\n\n\n\n### Auto-renew certs using Let’s Encrypt\n\nOne of our most highly-requested features was the introduction of a custom domain in GitLab pages [that automates HTTPS certificate renewals.](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/28996) We delivered in 12.1 by integrating with Let’s Encrypt to transition this process from being manual to automated.\n\n### Totally buggin’: Track errors using Sentry\n\nUsing Sentry, our users can get more visibility into their entire stack, making it faster and easier to identify and remediate bugs in your code. [Read this blog post to dive deeper into how our integration with Sentry works](/blog/sentry-integration-blog-post/) or watch the video below.\n\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/KUHk1uuXWhA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\n### Accelerate delivery using scoped labels\n\n[We created the scoped labels in 11.10](/blog/issue-labels-can-now-be-scoped/), making it simpler for users to customize workflows and accelerate delivery.\n\n{::options parse_block_html=\"false\" /}\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"center\">\n\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003Cp lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Great news, friends!

Keeping CE and EE in their own repositories made the development process more complex than was necessary, and by moving to a single codebase we simplified a problem that was becoming more complicated over time. A migration of this size wasn’t a simple process. [Our blog post dives into more detail about how we managed the migration](/blog/a-single-codebase-for-gitlab-community-and-enterprise-edition/).\n\n### Multicloud: This is the way\n\n#### Create and deploy to an EKS cluster\n\nGitLab is designed to be cloud-agnostic and in the spirit of multicloud, [we added an EKS integration to 12.5](/releases/2019/11/22/gitlab-12-5-released/#easily-create-and-deploy-to-an-eks-cluster). Now, users can create and deploy an EKS cluster by selecting the EKS option on the GitLab clusters page rather than having to build the integration from scratch. Watch the demo below to see how it works, or [read our documentation page](/releases/2019/11/22/gitlab-12-5-released/#easily-create-and-deploy-to-an-eks-cluster).\n\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\">\n  \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/DGvPEJUnXME\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> \u003C/iframe>\n\u003C/figure>\n\u003C!-- blank line -->\n\n#### Deploy to any cloud with GitLab CI/CD\n\nLearn more about how [GitLab CI/CD makes it possible to work with any cloud provider](/blog/gitlab-ci-cd-is-for-multi-cloud/).
