Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD?

We use Azure Devops at my current gig. It works pretty well for our setup. I’ve used GHA before; it definitely didn’t “spark joy”. I wastedspent way too many hours in the “update yaml file, commit, push, wait 5 minutes for it to fail again” spiral of despairfeedback loop.
Nice thing with ADO is its release dashboard – you get a really nice summary of recent builds and where they went:
$project - dev - test - prod
I didn’t see anything similar for GHA.

A lot of that pain can be reduced by writing and running your code locally before pushing it to a CI environment.
And if what you’re trying to do must execute inside an action. You can run actions locally with docker!

That’s a great idea if it’s possible, but I want to say it wouldn’t have helped with our environment at the time.
I almost wish I could look back at that repo and share the yaml file here, maybe I was missing something back then. I’m certainly more proficient with yaml now.
I do recall wishing there was a way to simulate the execution locally. I think I remember hearing about a local runner, but it had too many caveats to help.
