What you give up either way
- Autoscaling and large multi-architecture resource classes out of the box
- Credits-driven billing, bulk-discounted prepaid credits model
- Enterprise support SLAs and optional 24/7 support add-ons
- Rich built-in feature set (orbs, insights, flaky-test detection, GPU runners) and high concurrency limits
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches CircleCI Performance, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
