Something I have noticed lately, First startup idea that every Devops person starts with is to create a CI/CD project because they think world is inefficient and workflows can be optimized, and then they pivot to other ideas.

- debarshri 3y agoI think market is very mature for CI/CD, it often boils down to price war. Economics of operating your own CI/CD in org like this one is fairly bad compared to Github actions. Especially, the way Github bundles actions with the other services as a buyer it definitely feels like a better deal than buying best in class CI/CD. Github actions gets the job done. The slow changing nature of pipelines makes then candidate for not being touch once the configuration is set. So, to answer your question, in my opinion - is there a room for improvement - yes, but the value is minuscule for a customer to switch to a different provider in CI/CD is working fairly well.

- rjst01 3y agoIt's definitely a much bigger challenge than it appears on the surface. But I think the space is due for a shake-up - the current crop of tools has been around for years now, and they all suffer from a broadly similar set of scalability and usability problems.
