A new CI/CD platform. Local CLI (run without git push), remote debugger, automatic content-based caching, DAG-based definition, and dynamic tasks. It’s taken a lot of work to build it, but I’m really excited about how well it’s working. https://rwx.com/mint

I love Captain! I would have been over the moon to see this project ~1 year ago when I was porting our CI away from Circle CI.

Out of interest: CircleCI also has flaky test detection, rerun failed tests etc. Or did you mean that the CI that you were moving towards could benefit from Captains features?

CircleCI was incredibly expensive. We're at 1/30th of the cost with self-hosted GitHub actions.

I didn't make myself clear I think. You mention that you love Captain, and wish you had access to it when migrating away from CircleCI. I'm interested in understanding the specific reason(s) for your love for Captain's features, that seem to also be available in CircleCI?

When we moved away from Circle we had to come up with a replacement for flaky detection.
