I had steered away for a long while thinking it was subpar to GitHub, but it's really come a long way. Especially running it on a local network it's noticeably faster in every way than GitHub, and I'm able to build complex gi

I migrated my entire workflow onto a personal GitLab instance after the whole "pay a fee to bring your own bags to the grocery store" GitHub Actions pricing shenanigans earlier this year. Best decision ever. 100% uptime. 100% less

Except most of those services don't have at-home equivalents that you can increasingly run on your own hardware.

It would be silly to write a new one today. Plenty of open source + indy options to invest into instead. For scheduled work, cron + a log sink is fine, and for pull request CI there's plenty of alternatives that don't charge by th

Charging people to maintain a row in a database by the minute is top-tier, I agree.

Do you feel that orchestration runs on a per-minute basis?

This is not investment in CI/CD. I already did that, by buying and investing in my own hardware, my own workflows, my own caching solution. This is like if Dropbox started charging you money for the files you have stored on your backup

No. It is not worth a time-scaled cost each month for them to start a job on my machines and store a few megabytes of log files. I'd happily pay a fixed monthly fee for this service, as I already do for GitHub. The problem here is that

Won't those other systems create a cost that is metered in terms of run-time?

As a solo Founder who recently invested in self-hosted build infrastructure because my company runs ~70,000 minutes/month, this change is going to add an extra $140/month for hardware I own . And that's just today; this numb

Just wrote about my approach yesterday: https://jeffverkoeyen.com/blog/2025/12/15/SlotWarmedCaching/ tl;dr uses a local slot-based cache that is pre-warmed after every merge to main, taking Sidecar

I found that implementing a local cache on the runners has been helpful. Ingress/egress on local network is hella slow, especially when each build has ~10-20GB of artifacts to manage.

I run a local Valhalla build cluster to power the https://sidecar.clutch.engineering routing engine. The cluster runs daily and takes a significant amount of wall-clock time to build the entire planet. That's about 50% of m

There's absolutely no way that the cost scales with the usage of my own hardware. I cannot fathom this change in any way or form. Livid.

Genuinely curious about this as well. It's a major bummer that self-hosted infra can't be used to validate GitHub Pull Requests now; basically means I'll have to move my entire workflow off of GitHub so that everything can be

This is absolutely bananas; for my own CI workflow I'll have to pay $140+/month now just to run my own hardware.

Hey all! Happy to discuss the setup; has been a big win for Sidecar with a massive jump in test coverage while keeping costs flat.
