Hey HN,
We opened up signups last week for BuildJet for GitHub Actions.
We started with building a full CI with speed and the YAML config as a USP. We got 4x speed and a much better YAML config structure, but despite these improvements, we noticed that it was quite a hard sell for people to migrate to a new unknown CI.
With this in mind, we decided to build BuildJet for GitHub Actions that uses the same infrastructure but plugs right into Github Action as a "self-hosted" runner, which is automatically set up for you with OAuth. This resulted on average a 2x speed improvement for half the cost(due to us being close to the metal). Easy to install and easy to revert.
