We evaluated Jenkins last quarter and decided against it due to limited documentation. Instead, we went with GitHub Actions which better fit our use case. The main factors were cost (30% cheaper), ease of use (2-day vs 2-week training), and community support.

The migration path we took:
Week 1-2: Research & POC
Week 3-4: Staging deployment
Week 5-6: Prod rollout (10% -> 50% -> 100%)
Week 7-8: Optimization
Total cost: ~200 eng hours
Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Here's our production setup:
- Tool A for X
- Tool B for Y
- Custom scripts for Z
Happy to share more details if interested.

Works well in theory, but production reality is different.

Exactly! This is what we implemented last month.

Spot on. This is the direction the industry is moving.

Consider the long-term maintenance burden before adopting.

We evaluated Terraform last quarter and decided against it due to licensing costs. Instead, we went with Ansible which better fit our use case. The main factors were cost (30% cheaper), ease of use (2-day vs 2-week training), and community support.

We tried this but hit issues with X. How did you solve it? Our team is particularly concerned about production stability.

After 3 months of testing, here are our findings:
✓ Pros: faster deployments, better visibility
✗ Cons: initial setup complexity, team training
Overall: worth it for teams 10+

This is a game changer for teams doing CI/CD! We integrated it with our existing Jenkins + Terraform and the results were immediate. Developer productivity up 40%, deployment frequency up 3x, and MTTR down 60%. Best investment we made this year.

We tried this but hit issues with X. How did you solve it? We're evaluating this for Q1 implementation.

Be careful with this approach. We had production issues.

This aligns with our experience. Highly recommend this approach.
