Networking would definitely be a concern and I 100% agree that programming for higher failure rates is a must. I would certainly default to bare metal, likely a simple go binary running as a Job side-runner for a main prod server hosted in the cloud. > Lastly, I would definitely consider using gitlab.com to host code and run a gitlab runner from home. The previous parts of what I wrote become moot. The runner just connects when it can and runs jobs. Gitlab runner looks promising, though I am not sure if it's intended for work outside the git workflow. Thank you for your thoughts.
