Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support. CI system executes pipeline steps in Docker containers. ## Console’s review — 2023-03-30 Reviewed: 2023-03-30 Author: [David Mytton]() Citation: [This review]() ### What we like Self-hosted. Each step is isolated and runs as a container. Define the commands in a config file in your repo with any Docker image as the context. Uses a persistently mounted volume to pass input/output files through the steps. Flexible conditional execution, supports matrix builds, services e.g. databases. Backed by SQLite by default. ### Tradeoffs Limited pre-built images and plugins - smaller ecosystem than GitHub Actions, for example. Self-hosting is the point, but it does mean you have to run and manage everything yourself. This review reflects Console’s assessment at publication on 2023-03-30.
