Anyone else switched entirely to Tekton or another CI/CD platform because GitLab feels like a bloated monolith and too centralized at this point?

Gitlab has been "concentrating on performance" for literally years at this point. Their evangalists always point at open bugs, and show progress every time a new release is made, and yet I can't recommend it.

I wish I could use gitlab more, because I loved their runner-system. Nice and useful, and some of their integrated systems are really nice (such as the container registry). But at the same time so much stuff has been bolted on, seemingly in a hurry, that it's hard to recommend unless you're a masochist.

On the plus side of course Gitlab, and source hut, as well as the other lighter-weight systems do provide pressure to Github - so even if I don't use them again their existance is useful.

sr.ht for me -- being able to ssh into failed builds' vms is super-duper nice
