    > 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

      Agree, and it's already happening. Mostly smaller orgs so far though, they can just swap the runner label and move on. Larger orgs are starting to look into it but it's slow, lots of red tape (security review, procurement, "we're already paying GitHub").
