Ok, with DSCI as monolith application where git and CI are the same server, 32GB RAM VM is more then enough , no need to host runners, no need in k8s cluster, no need in dedicated maintain team, so no extra costs on devops tasks ... Also with general programming languages for CI pipeline you are in full control and simplicity ...
This thread is about full-featured forges like github/gitlab.
That DSCI is not a forge - it's a task runner attached to gitweb frontend. There are _none_ of the forge-like features like user management, pull requests, etc... Even in CI area, most of the features are missing: from the quick perusal of the doc, even something as basic as "have runner on remote machine" or "run two jobs at once" is not implemented.
- job matrix / parallel jobs are barely needed in commercial development , only in open source , but still not in every project - pull requests and user management are coming soon
Whoever downvoted this ^^ my comment I need your reasoning … I don’t know why people hate simplicity ) ( or love complexity )
it is a simpler set of services at the expense of a more complex user experience
What is more complex user experience? Writing pipelines on YAML gets complex indeed
CI should not be any different from regular programming
