Buildkite VS drone

buildkite.com you can run agents where ever you want.

Give https://buildkite.com/ for CI/CD a try, you'll love it!

Even that niche has better competitors, I think. I haven't used on-prem CCI, but I used hosted CCI for several years and when my team switched to https://buildkite.com/ it was a huge breath of fresh air. I think BuildKite is the only CI system I've used I thought was actually worth paying for, and I bet it works out cheaper than self-hosted CCI in most cases as well.

Buildkite: a startup that offers a CI/CD platform that combines the power of your own build infrastructure with the convenience of a managed, centralized web UI.

At Redpanda, we want to always provide an experience that is fast, simple, and productive for developers. That applies to our own team of engineers, too. When considering how we could achieve a more stable continuous integration (CI) pipeline, we wanted that same experience: fast, simple, productive. By running multiple instances of our pipeline steps in parallel on our CI platform, Buildkite, we can now run multiple repetitions of the same Buildkite step and use only the amount of time needed for a single step.

> You can also get comparable performance out of https://buildkite.com/ which lets you self-host runners on AWS

you can self-host github runners as well, with a few caveats, the most serious one being that then you are responsible for cleaning up the state of your self-hosted runner between runs

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/...

structural isolation guarantees of the form (build execution during run N cannot possibly impact build execution of run N+1) are tremendously helpful, if you cannot offer similar guarantees when self hosting then it may not be wise to self host.

A better option, if you want to run the builds on your own hardware is to look at something like Buildkite or GitLab CI.

One of the integrations that sends Change Events to PagerDuty is Buildkite. Buildkite is a continuous integration pipeline that allows you to notify PagerDuty with just the information you want to know. Conditional rules allow you to send only what matters.

Drone (https://github.com/harness/drone) shell's all codes are deleted and replaced with new project (gitness) to retain Github Stars. What do you think?

I went to check on this, and it seems that https://github.com/harness/drone redirects to harness/gitness. I'm now very confused.

You can check the drone license or sentry license.

To use github my code would have to leave my server. I can build it myself using woodpecker. I used drone.io till they were bought out and went closed source then migrated to woodpecker-ci

A lot of people on reddit seem to recommend gitlab, or drone.io, but if you get on indeed and search for jobs there are tens of thousands of posts looking for people who know Jenkins and only a tiny fraction of job listings interested in any other ci framework. Is it worth investing time into anything else? It's my decision and while the other options seem more friendly I don't see any point in learning them if I'm not going to be able to use them in the future.

I personally use drone CI (https://drone.io) with the DroneExternalConfig plugin (https://github.com/0x1a8510f2/DroneExternalConfig).

Gitea + drone.io is what I am using. Very happy with the solution.

No 5000 build limit if you use Gitea/Gogs Ref: https://github.com/harness/drone/blob/master/service/license/load.go

I really should migrate to Gitea + drone.io

I'm really embarassed to say that I love docker-compose over K8s for its simplicity & effectiveness.But tools are reallly lacking.drone.io is like a docker-compose.yml. Simple, effictive & beautiful.
