Following the acquisition of Travis CI by a private equity group, the platform announced changes to its open-source support, prompting many projects to seek alternatives for their continuous integration (CI) needs. This shift is attributed to the abuse of resources by cryptocurrency miners and a drive towards profitability. As a result, open-source projects are advised to consider other CI options like GitHub Actions, which offers generous build credits and ease of integration, particularly for projects hosted on GitHub. Circle CI is another viable option, providing a free plan with limited concurrent builds. To mitigate future disruptions, it is suggested to use neutral build specifications with Makefiles and Dockerfiles, or consider platforms like Earthly, which support containerized build steps. This approach enables easier migration across CI platforms and protects against potential service changes.
