First of all: Thanks for your excellent work on GitLab! We're evaluating it currently, and it quickly replaced our SVN and TeamCity workflows for some of our projects. I love the lightweight approach with GitLab CI, it's really easy to get started with. I currently don't miss any significant functionality, but I guess our builds are not that complex. As we're running our complete infrastructure on Mesos/Marathon, I wonder whether it'd be possible to use the new autoscaling for the runners with Marathon instead of docker-machine. Basically, the only thing I'd need to be able to is to retrieve the registration token for the runners via a API, so that it can be passed in when the new Docker container(s) is/are spun up. Currently (we're still using the old runner version in a custom Docker image, https://hub.docker.com/r/tobilg/gitlab-runner/), we scale them manually via Marathon. Probably it's easy to integrate Mesos/Marathon additionally to docker-machine, because the mechanism for scaling seem to be the same. I think this will be beneficial to Mesos users, bescause it will be very easy to use and scale GitLab on it. |

We choose docker-machine, because it also manages infrastructure, so this makes it much more easier for Administrators to manage hundred of build machines.
I'm thinking about an option to make it possible in one of the upcoming releases: how to scale gitlab-runner on other providers. You should look out for improvements in that department too!
