Why it is necessary?
It is easy to forget deployment steps and in most organization developers never deploy in the production. There is no connection between development and operation.
To be a full stack developer one must be able to deploy as well as write code and there is no reason why they should be in a different location. with growing CI/CD technology it is paramount important to have two technologies together.
Benefits of combining Development and Production
Code and deployment scripts are in one place.
Developer and support both have access to it.

The scope is wider as Dev Team as well as operation team can work on it.
Conclusion
GitLab has built the foundation to allow development and operation to use effectively to combine development and operation together.
