Yup! Still haven't switched off of Github, but considering it at this point. If you're in my shoes, here's some tools we use that help:
- https://github.com/sethvargo/ratchet https://github.com/sethvargo/ratchet for pinning external Actions/Workflows to specific commit hashes
- https://www.warpbuild.com/ https://www.warpbuild.com/ for much faster runners (also: runs-on/namespace/buildjet/blacksmith/depot/... take your pick)
- soon moving to Buildkite for orchestration of our CI jobs
I still just need a reasonable alternative for the "store our git repo, allow us to make and merge prs" part of things. Hopefully someone takes all the pieces that the Pierre team is publishing and makes this available soon. The Github UI and the `gh` cli are actually really nice and the existing alternative code storage tools are not great IMO.
- a_t48 5mo agoWhy warpbuild over the alternatives? I've seen depot before and am tempted, but open to other platforms.
- suryao 5mo agoFounder of WarpBuild here. We have faster compute: baremetal for amd64 workloads, AWS for arm64 etc. We optimize for overall performance in real world jobs and have a broad selection of regions/OSes/arch available. There aren't any fixed subscription fees either.
- peterldowns 5mo agoFounder is active on HN and the service is high quality. Support is reasonable. Machines are fast and work well. There are a bunch of alternatives, the switching cost is extremely low, pick whatever you'd like.
- mitchjj 5mo agoVP at Buildkite here; let me know if you need anything as you begin to move over to us for orchestration. The new trial we just released unlocks everything in the platform, and we can extend past 30 days if you need.
- peterldowns 5mo agoOh sweet, thanks Mitch! I was a customer of Buildkite a few years ago, looking forward to working together again.
- mitchjj 5mo agoHappy to help with whatever you need when the time is right!
