Skipping Outdated Refs with GitHub Actions
If you use GitHub Actions for deployments in a “push to master, deploy to prod” sort of flow, you’ve likely wanted to avoid deploying conflicting refs. By default, GitHub Actions will want to run a deployment for every commit as soon as you push it. Concurrency groups help, but it requires a bit of creativity to get it running smoothly.
I Tried to Build a Personal PaaS
I like DevOps. More specifically, I like good DevOps. For example, I love Heroku host a few dozen free apps there. Salesforce must be raking in boatloads of cash from every business that also loves Heroku, but I can’t justify spending $7 per app per month.
I have 21 apps. It would cost nearly 150$ per month to run them on the hobby tier.
I tried to recreate something similar to Heroku for years, and I was pretty happy with where it got me.
