11/01/2021, 6:23 AMany suggestions on hosted CI services? Something that supports remote caching would be 👌
Had enough of gitlab-ci. It's slow, self-hosted, and just feels like a perpetual source of misery.
I've used Circle-CI with good experiences in the past. But no reapi.

11/01/2021, 2:50 PMI had good luck using GitLab CI but we were using a fully containerized system with self-managed runners and used a self-hosted docker registry as the basis for our cache. I feel you with the self-management pain though. It becomes an issue at scale for sure

11/01/2021, 2:51 PMThere don't appear to be too many REAPI managed solutions out there, and the ones I see seem Bazel-centric. But REAPI should be generic enough ... perhaps you could contact some of these to see what they offer: https://awesomeopensource.com/project/bazelbuild/remote-apis?...

11/01/2021, 2:54 PMWhat's your pain with the self-hosting elements of GitLab? I'm evaluating approaches for hosting REAPI myself, so I'd be interested to hear more

11/01/2021, 4:49 PMToolchain is in semi-stealth mode, so for those unaware because we don't say it publicly real often: Toolchain is the lead sponsor of Pants. The team includes Pants maintainers @witty-crayon-22786 @hundreds-father-404 @enough-analyst-54434 @happy-kitchen-89482 @ancient-vegetable-10556 @fast-nail-55400 and me.
