Fully Managed CI Platform


Hello Everyone,

I'v been working on a CI platform (https://githaxs.com) that is easier to use and provides more value.

Here are the problems I want to solve:

1. Wasted effort setting up the same tools at different companies on different platforms.

I am a DevOps Engineer and I quickly realized I was automating the same CI tools at different companies and on different platforms. Most companies want their code linted before merging and they use same tools. As a DevOps engineer I had to spend time setting up the same tooling across many repos and platforms (i.e. Circle, Jenkins, GitHub actions, etc) - which seemed like wasted effort. I wanted an easy way to select commonly used CI tools use them.

2. Make it easy to add new tools to your toolchain.

I recently went through the process of getting HITRUST certified at a company and we needed to add SAST to our CI tool chain. Adding a new tool required us to "take a lap" and update config files in hundreds of repos. I wanted a way to run tools on all or a subset of repos easily.

3. Lack of data in code review process

When I became a manager I wanted some insights into the code review process of my team. How long does it take for PRs to get their first review? last review? merge? There are other tools out there but they cost hundreds of dollars per seat.

4. Spend less time groking CI platform documentation.

I've spent many hours reading documentation/troubleshooting on CircleCI to understand their syntax and the best way to do things. Often times I found myself in situations where I would do the equivalent of throwing spaghetti against the wall - create a commit that I think will work, wait for the job to run X minutes later and rinse and repeat if it doesn't.

I would appreciate any feedback on the website, product idea, other problems you have faced that I haven't addressed.

Cheers!

Please change the title to something like "Githaxs: Fully Managed CI Platform" so it's clear that you are posting your project and not asking a question.

(The content of the post is fine, it's very clear. I hate when people try to disguise this and put the link at the bottom, but it's not your case.)

About the project: If I already have the Githubs actions setup, can your site import them? What about TravisCI? Is it possible to migrate from TravsCI to Github Actions automatically?
