    > Moving our workloads off GitHub Actions to third-party runners with faster CPUs, higher-performance storage, and better cache infrastructure gave us faster machines to run the same pipeline on

    Yeah, was not surprised to read this. Actions is convenient if you already use GitHub, but it can also be pretty slow. Given reliability is also a major issue with GitHub these days I expect to see more orgs moving to different pipelines

      We switched our Actions workload to blacksmith.sh (not affiliated) and have been pretty happy with how fast and inexpensive they are. I wouldn't be surprised to see this trend continue.
