Reviewer scorecard
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
“Interesting concept but the execution isn't there yet. Give it 6 months.”
