CI/CD

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is GitHub’s native CI/CD system. You define workflows in YAML under .github/workflows; GitHub runs them on triggers (push, PR, cron, manual) on managed runners or self-hosted machines.

The big upside is proximity to the code and a huge marketplace of ready-made actions. Downsides: cost on larger private projects and occasional gaps versus mature CI systems.
