As a Gitlab user that's not strongly committed to the platform, this looks like a pretty interesting option.
Anyone have thoughts on how this compares to e.g. Google Cloud Builder in terms of functionality? Being integrated into the GH backend seems like a big perk, rather than having to use webhooks for everything.
Seems like you can do things like build your Docker containers (https://developer.github.com/actions/creating-github-actions/creating-a-docker-container/ https://developer.github.com/actions/creating-github-actions...).
One thing that's great about Gitlab is the Gitlab server/runner split, where you can run workers in your own VPC, but still use their hosted offering. This makes it easier to keep your deploy secrets (aka the keys to the kingdom) locked down, as they never leave your cloud provider.
- myself-or-not 7y agoGH Actions offers self-hosted agents too, that can be deployed in the VPC
- mirekrusin 7y agoApparently it’s free if you have self hosted runners (makes sense).
- sylvinus 7y agoThat's going to hurt people like Buildkite (which we love).

- theptip 7y agoI can't seem to find that in the docs, do you have a link to hand? Thanks!
- t3rabytes 7y ago> Google Cloud Builder It's actually Cloud Build under the covers. Their Actions Library sure beats have to figure out how to write the configs yourself for GCB though.
- ItalyPaleAle 7y ago> It's actually Cloud Build under the covers Nope, it's actually something based on Azure Pipelines' code (on a different infrastructure) https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1159526215658561536 https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1159526215658561536
- DannyBee 7y agoIt was cloud build, it's now azure pipelines.
