I want to second build kite - it’s an excellent piece of tech and is best described as “sane Jenkins” as a compliment. My only gripe is the pricing - it’s not designed for “small teams”. But I’d use it again in a heartbeat.
This week we've released a free plan and overhauled the mid-tier; am keen to hear whether this alleviates the 'small team' pain against others in market
I’m not working for a small team anymore but I can say this would have gotten us to use Buildkite again.
I think an in between tier would help, as it’s 4.5x the cost of GitHub per person, plus the cost of the runners. The idea of spending $42/mo on GitHub plus $180 on buuldkite is a hard sell, but the economics aren’t there.
That's good feedback, there's been a lot of discussion internally about how pricing has affected sentiment and what the trade-offs were from previous decision makers there over the last couple of years. Without it seeming like lip service, there is a 'startup' plan in the works, to sit between free and pro, sounds like it may be the right move as this isn't the first time we've heard it.
