Hey Folks,
We at Dgraph Labs use Github as our VCS. And we have recently migrated our CI/CD setup to Github Actions. This was a huge win for us internally, especially in a startup setting like ours. Our wins were broadly in these 3 areas Compute Costs, Maintenance Efforts & Configuration Time.
With this new setup, we designed & developed Dynamic AutoScaling of Github Runners in house. We are thinking of open-sourcing this project. If there is any interest here - pls do reach out. We were able to save ~87% $$ of our Compute Costs with this setup.

In this article we explain our transition to GitHub Actions for our CI/CD needs at Dgraph Labs Inc. As a part of this effort we have built (in-house) & implemented a new architecture for “Dynamic AutoScaling of GitHub Runners” to power this setup. In the past, our CI/CD was powered by a self-hosted on-prem TeamCity setup - this turned out to be a little difficult to operate & manage in a startup setting like ours. Transitioning to GitHub Actions & implementing our new in-house built “Dynamic AutoScaling of GitHub Runners” - has helped us reduce our Compute Costs, Maintenance Efforts & Configuration Time across our repositories for our CI/CD efforts (with improved security).

I’m curious why you didn’t go with the GitHub Actions Runner Controller (for EKS) or the one by phillips labs?
Terraform module for scalable GitHub action runners on AWS

The latter is now officially backed by GitHub is my understanding

Yes, in fact it’s now moved to the actions
