Looks really interesting! Does the self-hosted version support OAuth or other authentication methods to manage users through an external identity provider?

Any plans to offer a self-hosted version of Hydra instance?

My typical response from GitHub Enterprise support has been fantastic over the years. I'll also note that after GitHub Actions/Packages came out on Github.com the lead time for support response did increase substantially for non critical tickets due the increased support burden for those new services. My most recent tickets have been answered promptly so they must have figured out the staffing issues.

You should be well aware that actual architecture of GitHub Enterprise isn't truly highly available (1 active and 1 or more standby instances) unless you are a huge customer to support clustering mode. Which means you likely need to take downtime to implement upgrades since they typically require rebooting the VM.

We have been fairly happy with Runscope [0] for fairly simplistic monitoring of api response codes and body payloads. My biggest complaint is probably the lack of individualized response data after >= 24 hours.

Still waiting to see if the CA Technologies acquisition [1] makes things worse or not.

My workplace has primarily switched all net new ci/cd workflow from Jenkins to Drone (https://github.com/drone/drone - Drone is a Continuous Delivery system built on container technology.). Having managed masters with 20,000 + configured jobs I agree that Jenkins is a very sore spot for our entire pipeline. We’ve had greater success with increasing the number of masters (one per team or application) and using the kubernetes plugin for slaves. However, most of our pipeline complaints have been mitigated by getting teams to migrate from Jenkins to Drone.

While I don’t think Drone currently supports k8s job, it is very lightweight in comparison to Jenkins. Most of our developers would agree that it isn’t a perfect product, but it has reduced friction points by a large amount.
