We're starting to have the conversation of "do we need to replace GitHub as our CI/CD pipeline?" No idea if/when we decide to pull that bandaid but I think once we can't merge a hot fix into main because of GH being down, it'll be a big org push to replace it. What's everyone else using? Self hosted Gitlab? Gitea?
ultimately, folks need to stop writing massive YAML files to define their builds. CI should schedule jobs, your build system should define them. my workflow files look like this: steps: name: Do the thing run: nix build .# at any point, if my CI is down or i need to switch or i need to run builds locally, i can do so trivially.
This is all well and good until you need a cache, or credentials, or to pass data between steps, or to parallelize across runners.
