I really like GitLab's CI. Actions is probably winning the war, though.


Actions does seem to be winning, but having used both extensively I'm convinced that it's on name recognition alone (with pricing being a second). Gitlab CI is my favorite of the many I've tried (gitlab, circle, travis, github), Actions is probably my least preferred. It gets the job done but there are always a lot of actions-specific stuff for every job, whereas with most of the others they're relatively portable. Actions feels like it was designed with lock-in as a primary goal.


GitLab CI can launch multiple pipelines on the same push/trigger (use separate files, like GH Actions, etc), but even after using it for I don't even know how many years I'm still struggling with setting it up in a nice way.
