Runners are for sure slow and expensive.
My solution: buy a $5k server with 128 cores and lots of memory. Sits in my basement. Runs our CI/CD for the cost of electricity. Think it got our full test suite down from 20 minutes on circle to 5 minutes.
- rightonbrother 3y agoThis is the way. Can't get large company's to do it but it makes so much more financial sense to lower the cost of ci so you can use as much of it as you want.
- NikPuashkin 3y agoCan't disagree here. If you have time and a member in your team who can cook it, own hardware is worth a shot. But should get prepared for a lot of things to cook. You still have to maximize your server utilization together with security: running containers on a single host with 128 cores works seamless only if your workloads are trusted and the amount of processes is dozens, not hundreds or thousands.
