Every great journey must have an end. As far as I understand Cirrus CI was struggling due to Github Actions eating their market. Cirrus CI was in my opinion much better than Github Actions but it is hard to compete with a bundled solution.
What was good about it? It looks pretty ordinary to me: https://cirrus-ci.org/features/
Did anyone else think this was Cirrus Logic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_Logic

Sure, but I imagine the terms of the acquisition doesn’t say you have to write it in this specific style. I’m sure there’s a way to say the same thing without coming across as a bullshitter.
I just don't think there's much upside to telling it how it is in the press release that gets buried after a week and everyone moves on. For better or worse.
If this is a forgettable press release isn't it lower effort than coming up with this type of nonsense?
Tart is an amazing tool, and I have been very grateful for it. There's almost no other way I've found to stand up ephemeral CI/CD macOS VMs for self-hosted Git forge solutions. I really hope this doesn't mean that Tart will eventually die the death of unmaintained projects (e.g. Realm post-Mongo-acquisition.)
Wow Cirrus was like the one cool CI thing with first-class Podman support. RIP. Guess I'm looking elsewhere (and not at Dagger which refuses to support rootless Podman).
Thank you! Cirrus CLI is still around and can run your tasks locally in either Podman or Docker. Can also be used in any other CI.
Note that this is fundamentally different from the Astral acquisition. At the end of their announcement, they stated: > Cirrus CI will shut down effective Monday, June 1, 2026. And earlier in the article: > Joining OpenAI allows us to extend the mission we started with Cirrus Labs: building new kinds of tooling and environments that make engineers more effective, for both human engineers and agentic engineers. It isn…
Just want to note that we will continue maintaining and improving our virtualization solutions actually with even greater attention. SaaS options like Cirrus CI and Cirrus Runners will eventually wind down so we can focus on incorporating pieces internally.
That said, I find their aqui-hire by OpenAI disappointing for a number of (mostly personal) reasons. However, I wish them the best regardless.
It looks like OpenAI has no clue what to do and does what every software company without a plan does: create new dev tools and a new dev stack. So they want an integrated solution with CI, Python packaging and vibe coding. That is a $100 million valuation at best, not a $1 trillion one.
