GitLab CI is lightweight compared to Jenkins. I recently taught CI/CD using both, on small instances, and the instances running Jenkins would occasionally grind to a halt due to load while the ones running GitLab kept ticking. Same CI/CD load, same instances. Just a different CI app.
- assafmo 9y agoSeconded. I'm using gitlab-ci offline (bitnami instance + runner) and on the gitlab website and it's awesome. Also travisci with github is good but I don't know if it supports mac.
- jakobegger 9y agoIt looks like Gitlab CI requires the pipelines to be inside your repo. I‘d like to keep them in a separate repo, otherwise making changes eg. to a test server configuration requires merging the new config into every branch.
- jeremija 9y agoYou can define build (secret) variables per project, which means you can change the configuration without committing every branch.
