Powerful tools lose value when they are difficult to use.
GitLab is a robust DevSecOps platform used by engineering teams worldwide. However, as organizations scale, complexity increases. Developers struggle with discoverability, workflow standardization, and self service deployment processes.
The Vender team set out to build a DevSecOps portal that would improve GitLab adoption and streamline developer workflows.
Tangerine Creative Agency partnered with Vender to design Vender.sh, a human first DevEx platform that simplified complex CI CD processes and accelerated engineering productivity.
Engineering teams were facing repeated friction across GitLab environments.
Common pain points included:
As engineering organizations grow, inefficiencies compound.
Without standardization and discoverability:
The Vender team needed a scalable developer experience platform that would:
Tangerine Creative Agency approached the challenge through systems thinking.
Developer experience is not just about interface. It is about workflow clarity, accessibility, and efficiency.
We began with:
The goal was not to simplify functionality.
The goal was to make complexity accessible.
Tangerine Creative Agency designed Vender.sh as a centralized DevSecOps portal that transforms GitLab into an intuitive and standardized experience.
Developers can search and browse Docker containers, CI components, and standardized workflows within a structured interface. Discoverability significantly improved.
Instead of manually configuring pipelines, developers launch deployments through guided forms. Standardization reduces errors and accelerates setup.
Pre configured templates allow teams to launch compliant and production ready projects without rebuilding configurations from scratch.
Workflows are accessible across devices, enabling engineering visibility and control beyond desktop environments.
The result is a developer experience that feels structured, consistent, and efficient.
The DevEx transformation delivered meaningful operational gains.
By standardizing CI CD workflows and improving discoverability, Vender.sh became a force multiplier for engineering productivity.
This was not just a dashboard build.
It was a structural improvement to engineering velocity.
As engineering teams scale, tooling complexity grows.
When DevSecOps workflows are fragmented:
A strong developer experience platform:
Vender.sh demonstrates how strategic UX design can directly impact engineering efficiency and GitLab adoption within enterprise environments.
If your engineering teams are losing time to fragmented workflows and manual CI CD setup, incremental fixes will not solve systemic inefficiencies.
Tangerines Creative Agency designs scalable developer experience platforms that increase productivity, reduce friction, and support enterprise DevSecOps growth.
Let’s build infrastructure that empowers your teams to move faster.
Whether you are refining an MVP, scaling toward your next round, or rebuilding after hiring the wrong design partner, Tangerine brings clarity, structure, and strategic momentum.
You deserve a product experience that matches your ambition.
