I think we can do the same things using github actions now. P.S we have self-hosted runners in our enviroment where each step is a docker container too.

We have complex flows where we use Slack, Spinnaker(Webhooks), Terraform, PagerDuty ... and much more.

Is there something better that we can achieve with this?

Hi,

This is a good question, thank you! The flow of events into our system is somewhat different than GitHub Actions. We're trying to be a consumer of all sorts of events, including, say, data published to AWS SNS or via a Docker Hub webhook[0]. All of that isn't quite in place yet, but we want to act more like an event broker than a CI/CD solution alone.

One concept we're throwing around is supporting CloudEvents[1] and dispatching workflows based on event types. If anyone has experience with CloudEvents we'd love to hear if that would be something useful to you.

I'm writing a book on Knative and have some material in there about CloudEvents. It's on the MEAP program and the relevant chapter was put up yesterday, as it happens: https://livebook.manning.com/book/knative-in-action/chapter-...

Thank you! I'll take a look through this! Would it be okay if I sent you an email in the next week or two for follow-up questions?

Please do.
