I loved garnix and I’m sad to see the service shut down. That said, open sourcing the platform is the best way to do it I can imagine. I wish the team success at Shopify.
Garnix has as good as no vendor lock-in (awesome!) and NixCI (https://nix-ci.com) is almost a drop-in replacement so at least migrating is super easy.
Haskell always hurts my brain, but in a good way. I want to understand it, but haven't been bothered thus far.
garnix will be shutting down and deleting all user data on July 15th. Read the blog post here (OP's link). wut?
it was posted on may 28th. that's a 6 weeks warning. still not ideal, but hopefully they made sure that users got notified directly too.
btw "garnix" means "nothing" in german. translating the article to german makes for a funny reading: "nothing is shutting down, nothing is open sourced" ;-)
Sounds like they wanted the people and not the product they were developing.
Nevermind, didn’t see the date.
Please read the article. This post is over a month and a half old.
Btw, now that the repository is open-sourced, it poses an increased security risk for any customers who haven't migrated yet.
On another OS tooling note, jdx is joining entire.io while continuing to work on mise: https://jdx.dev/sponsors.html
