CI in 2022


What would you use for CI in 2022? Why? Is there some killer feature you like/want/whatever?

I've heard some praise for Buildkite and Cirrus CI.

https://woodpecker-ci.org/ if you want to host a FLOSS CI yourself.

Woodpecker is a fork of Drone version 0.8, this is because the Drone CI license was changed after the 0.8 release from Apache 2 to a proprietary license. Woodpecker is based on this latest freely available version.

GitHub Actions hands down. Huge amount of community-provided actions, easy to get started, lots of ways to reuse workflows or parts of workflows. Perfect integration with GitHub obviously.

I moved from GitHub to Buildkite for my side project because it builds a ton of stuff and I was waiting a lot for CI.

With Buildkite I set up a 40/mo Hertzner box with a ton of power, getting about 20x throughput for the price. Not affiliated with them in any way.

Overall the interface is nicer I’d say, but the dedicated machine setup did throw me for a few loops.
