Also, the best part about gitlab CI - it's super easy to install gitlab-runner on your own and enjoy unlimited build minutes, even on the free plan. Plus you get to set up your buildbot environment just the way you like - even with access to LAN-only resources in case you need them.

That's an excellent point, and I haven't looked into that yet because I never went past the 2k minutes per month.

But if you did need > 2k minutes, it sounds like a good idea to spin up a $5 / month DO server to be a dedicated runner. That sure beats paying $50+ / month for most other CI services for their most basic paid plans, especially if you're just a solo developer or small team who wants a nice coding experience.

And you can hook up a small autoscaling gitlab-runner which will spin up CI VMs on-demand. If you combine this with spot-instances at AWS you can scale very far on the free plan with minimal cloud spend.

We did this for our project and our builds sped up considerably. Also, Digital Ocean provides a quick solution to setup a GitLab runner on their cloud.

I hate to keep beating the dead horse-but you can do the same thing via MS’s Visual Studio Devops aka Visual Studio Online with a local build/deployment agent.

And you can do the same thing with personal licenses of your chosen ci server and you can throw in a personal deployment server to boot (i like octopus).

I actually just use Appveyor if I can for my personal stuff.

There is a LambCI with very high concurrent build limit and works with Github, one click install using cloudformation.
