GitLab’s total addressable market is estimated to be $40 billion. It has been winning accolades due to a robust pipeline.

Why GitLab Is Set For Future Growth?
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), a key performance metric, reflects the total annualized value of recurring subscription contracts as of the end of the period. GitLab’s ARR has shown significant growth with a 39% 2-year CAGR, growing to US$677m, which is crucial as it provides a stable and predictable revenue stream. A contributing factor to this is the expanding customer base, which has substantially grown from 5,168 customers in Q1 FY2023 to 8,976 in Q1 FY2025. Among these customers, the percentage of customers generating more than US$100k ARR has also grown from 10.5% (545) to 11.4% (1,025).
Another key performance metric would be the Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate (DBNRR), which measures the percentage of change in ARR from existing customers over a 12-month period. GitLab reported a DBNRR of 129% for Q1 FY2025. A DBNRR above 100% indicates that existing customers are not only renewing their subscriptions but also increasing their spending, either by upgrading to higher-tier plans or adding more users. This metric highlights the company’s ability to expand within its existing customer base, a positive sign of customer satisfaction and the value it derives from GitLab’s platform.
I am expecting this growth to indicate that GitLab has the potential for continuous future growth as the AI revolution now moved into AI tools where demand will be growing significantly higher.
