Hard agree. I really don't think TravisCI is very good or reliable.

Yeah, basically came to say this. While I appreciate the effort, I think this list is way off.

I'm a daily user of Papertrail. It's starting to grow too expensive for our team ($100/16 GB). Still I haven't found an alternative with instant text search and infinite scroll. The ability to quickly scroll through the logs has proven to be crucial to debugging critical problems. I'm having a hard time filtering through JSON logs in Grafana/Elastic search/cloud-native log engine.

They mentioned GH actions also. So maybe they switched?

As far as the Get Things Done aspect goes, I'd happy replace Github + Github Actions + Travis/other CI/CD tools with Gitlab. It really does all that, and the CI/CD tool is >>> Github Actions.

  Could you explain more on that thought?

    Sure! As far as normal DVCS features go, I'd say Gitlab and Github are almost at feature parity(I happen to use both extensively). The UI may just come down to a matter of preference. Github indeed has somewhat superior code-review tools. But I've found Gitlab to be perfectly adequate. When it comes to CI/CD, Gitlab CI blows Github Actions out of the water by a HUGE margin. So, if I just wanted a tool that got things done for me, instead of fragmenting myself with Github + Github Actions + TravisCI / CircleCI, etc, I'd just get one Gitlab subscription and call it a day.

  Totally agree, and their free tier (unless it's changed in the last 2 years) is frankly amazing. We ran a start-up entirely in the free tier with our own hosted runners which are also amazing. (Required a bit of hacking but we had scale-to-zero fleet of ARM and x86 runners in AWS with the necessary rights to do whatever, right up to deploys into DEV, packer builds etc)

They started in 2017 when I think Travis was still a viable option, especially for those that already knew how to use it.

I'd go for Grafana Cloud over Papertrail. The $7/month papertrail account seems to be just 1 GB/month of logs which is pretty trivial. With grafana you get 50 GB/month plus everything else.
