MattermostΒΆ

We’re not a big fan of emails within our company, thus we’re using Mattermost instead.

It is our most important internal communication platform, and here are the reasons why we’re using it:

  • A replacement for internal emails

  • A good alternative for decentral / asynchronous communication

  • Segregation of different topics through different Mattermost channels

  • Notifications from GitLab (e.g. new issues, merge requests, deployments)

  • Notifications from other 3rd party tools (e.g. Kudos or VoIP calls)

Note

The deployment, and all documentation for Mattermost can be found in the GitLab Mattermost project.
