GitHub Actions provides CI/CD workflows directly in your repository. YAML-based with a massive marketplace of community actions. The default CI/CD for GitHub-hosted projects.
Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
