At my company we rent a couple of dedicated Ryzen 9 5950X boxes from Hetzner to host our Gitlab CI runners, for a bit over $100/month each.

These rip through our pipelines so much faster (and cheaper) than any managed CI offering we've tried, that we didn't even bother doing proper benchmarking.

I would assume 7900X or 7950X would be even better :D

And unfortunately a similar instance at AWS would cost 2000$/month, even with spot instances it’d be 500$ at most which is still huge. I am aware of why cloud exists, but this is just sad. Have been using Github Actions and Bitbucket Pipelines, they both suck and no good observabilit exists for them.
