If anyone has experience using self hosted GH Actions at scale, I’d love to buy you a virtual coffee and hear about pros/cons for a parallelized CI flow currently running in Circle. Main motivation for switching would be simplification of tooling and increasing performance with better cache reuse and running within AWS for faster network access to ECR.

Reach out to me and I’ll be happy to talk to you about my experiences with GitHub actions.
At https://packhelp.com we use Github Actions for ~50 devs. I can share my experience, reach me.

Also, we have some useful Ansible scripts that I might share if there is interest

I would be interested in seeing the Ansible scripts if you are amenable to it. Thanks!
Ok, will talk to the person who can release them. Shoot me an email in a week
I’d also love to chat more. DM coming your way!
We moved all our builds (e.g. 100+) to GH Actions. We've been using GH Actions since it was a daily tar ball drop in a private GH Slack channel in Q3 2019.

Happy to answer any questions.

The biggest challenge has been the many GH Actions service outages/impacts. We're working on moving to self hosted runners to mitigate this.
