On: Gitlab reducing free tier CI/CD minutes from 2000 to 400 minutes

[mumblerino]

The point of a service like this is that you should not concern yourself with dirty hardware details.

They give you a certain power for a number of minutes. It seems reasonable.

If they upgrade their servers, they can fit more minutes per machine, or give it away by speeding up runs for free.

If you want to think about “minutes on XYZ machine”, then build your own CI on AWS and pay exactly what you want.
