Resist Switching CI/CD Tools
- Think hard before changing CI/CD tools if you have an existing setup.
- The best CI/CD tool is often the one you already use, due to the high cost of migration.
Migrate Incrementally
- If you must switch tools, migrate incrementally instead of all at once.
- Maintain both old and new systems temporarily to avoid breaking things during the transition.
Start Simple
- Use the easiest CI/CD tool to get started with your project.
- If your project is on GitHub, use GitHub actions; if on GitLab, use GitLab CI.
