Indeed. We are already optimizing this. And spot instances are coming soon as well :-)

Before this we were using https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller but that's running on K8s instead of VMs. So along with common limitations of running CI jos in K8s/c…

Persistent disks are implemented as EBS snapshots, so the process is something like: 1. Create EC2 instance for runner #1. Find out there is no existing snapshot, so an empty volum…

We are working on an alternative that's 100% compatible with GHA but much cheaper and faster. Check out https://dime.run/

IIUC the actual computation (e.g. compiling, linking, ...) happens on client (CI or developer) machines and the results are written to the server-side cache. By spoofing I meant to…

What is the benefit of using a remote cache instead of a local ~/.cache directory? Is it only for sharing build results among team members? How do you make sure the build results a…

Awesome! If there is any problem just post it in GitHub issues. We will also be releasing 2023.4 very soon.

Yes, the code of the analyzer itself cannot be built on macOS or Windows directly. In those cases you will have to use either podman or docker to use the binaries prebuilt on/for L…

That's running the prebuilt container image. The README has instructions on how to build from source.

I'm not sure about the timeline because that depends on a lot of things. In the meantime I guess you could start with AUTOSAR C++14. MISRA C++:2023 is essentially built on top of t…

If you build it from source it's actually a bunch of regular executables. Running as a container is for the purpose of making the environments hermetic/reproducible so that it's ea…

No. Using GPL software has nothing to do with the code processed by it. Think about the GCC compiler :)

Clang has its own limitations. And it takes more effort than just writing the checkers. We open sourced our previously proprietary static analyzer (mostly based on Clang but also i…

2023 is supported in the enterprise edition but not in the community edition yet. We gradually move features from EE to CE as new features added to EE. So you can expect 2023 suppo…

If you are interested in this, take a look at NaiveSystems Analyze [0] which is a free and open source static analyzer for checking MISRA compliance etc. Disclaimer: I'm the founde…

Yes I totally understand the concern. We are actively working on SOC 2 and other compliance stuff to help with this. But honestly I feel the compliance requirements are weaker than…

I had a similar experience with ARC (actions-runner-controller). One of the machines in the fleet failed to sync its clock via NTP. Once a job X got scheduled to it, the runner pod…
