#2Pretty neat, does GitHub provide any of these analytics themselves?

#3Trunk employee here - we're super excited about this launch!
We've got a few companies using it, and had other users in our community tell us "It's a very helpful tool that I didn't even know I needed". Even we ourselves have made a number of surprising discoveries about how often some of our hourly/nightly workflows have been failing by dogfooding this.
Let us know what you think! :)

#4GH actions has been great for us for CI but incredibly opaque when you're trying to diagnose problems. Simple jobs running on the gh hosted runners are fine, but we have a large pool of self-hosted runners running more complex workflows, and whenever things go sideways the answer is usually "did you try restarting all of them?"
Hopefully this is helpful, at least someone is investing in making gh actions work for larger organizations.

shockingly it doesn't

#6Datadog already does this, how does this compare? Genuinely interested.

I would say that broadly the ergonomics of the product are where it is most differentiated. Datadog's solution - feels very much like a datadog product - in that it's a giant dump of data you have to craft to tell a story. Not all pipelines are the same, their execution patterns are different and expectations for Pass/Fail/Cancel differ as well.

Tbh it looks the same as Datadog’s solution.

#10For cost and practical reasons, I'm seriously considering to adopt Dagger.io instead of GH Actions.
Have you considered integration with other CI/CD pipeline engines or it doesn't matter as long as you git-commit?
Thanks in advance.
