Given the consistent outages everywhere on GitHub, they actually should put GitHub Actions under a paid tier only if they want their platform to be sustainable and stable. Period.
It's quite irresponsible of them to have almost all the core features free and a paid tier would significantly reduce abuse of it (and especially GitHub Actions) like this.
If they don't, then don't be surprised to see more outages on their platform.
- S0y 6mo agoDo you realize how disastrous it would be for the open-source ecosystem to remove actions from the free tier?
- nvme0n1p1 6mo agoYeah, I can't imagine if open source maintainers had to pay for their own laptop, food, electricity, housing, transportation, or compute time.
- kevin_thibedeau 6mo agoThey might have to figure out running CI on their own hardware. The horror.
- zbentley 6mo agoOpen source developers got along perfectly well before free GHA compute. It hasn’t been around for that long.
