That's not the purpose of a remote CI/CD. Your pipeline can be as strict or as loose as you wish. It's there to show you a log of the execution as it happened in a neutral environment (remote server).

Basically, what you are suggesting is that everyone advertises their tests/builds run on slack? Also when two devs merge their changes, who compile/tests the master branch?

I see the benefit (it avoids the “works on my machine” problem), but my rails app isn’t too fancy and works on heroku ~100% of the time when it works on the dev machine. Making an intermediate build redundant (technically not entirely but it’s just not worth the effort).

For small teams it could be as simple as everyone agreeing to ensure tests pass on main before pushing to prod.
