Arian | We at work have a pretty neat self-hosted gha cluster that spawns up isolated NixOS vms for each job in seconds. But it is AWS based so it'll cost money :').
But for us it's a major money saver. We undercut GitHub enterprise pricing massively and we get fancy servers that are actually ... Fast | 12:27:49 |
