We just set up a Kubernetes cluster for building C++ and Java software. Thing is - you want to be absolutely sure that the software you software is built correctly and don't have any bit-flips ending up in your final builds, so ECC is an absolute must. Threadripper supporting this allowed us to create that cluster with cheap commodity hardware and made self-hosting the build-farm the clear financial winner, especially since we have tons of free rack-space (came with the building that was bought), already host servers locally - which means a lot support infrastructure is already in place, and have a solar surplus throughout the year in this building.
