I have been favoring Gitlab over Github because their CI is the best CI I've ever used. It just works, whereas every other CI found a way to make things hard for me.
You can even spin up postgres and redis instances for tests by just specifying that you want them. It's amazing.
Couldn't agree more. Gitlab's CI is what made me finally fall in love with CI as a concept. Obviously it was needed before, but it always felt like an ugly chore. With Gitlab, it's one of the first things I do when setting up a new project.
Throwing in a second opinion here for those curious. I've worked with a number of CI systems and had trouble with many.
Gitlab CI has been the opposite of other experiences I've had with well over 10k jobs completed across different projects with diverse needs. Even for small hobby projects it's been great for me, it's nice to easily be able to push updates without having to worry about it. Makes it much easier to iterate and test things out!
