Efficiently automates our software development processes and offers good integration
The initial setup can require some knowledge, but there are helpful tutorials, examples, courses, and other resources. Overall, it's manageable. The process varies depending on what's being deployed (data, services, etc.). We use multiple environments with different ports for each microservice. It's a complex infrastructure with databases and other components, but Actions makes scaling it up and down and managing its overall complexity surprisingly easy. Deployments are quick, usually taking a few minutes, up to ten minutes at most. They're one-time jobs, though they might run multiple times a day. GitHub Actions is our CI/CD tool. We actually use TerraForm for deployment.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's low-priced. Not high, but definitely low."
"Regarding cost, as an enterprise, we negotiate our license and expenses, so I can't provide a specific rating for that."
"Price-wise, GitHub Actions is okay. If I want to use the product's advanced features, then I need to pay the licensing charges for the solution."
"For our basic usage, we didn't have to pay."
"It is free and open platform, so I would rate it 1 out of 10."
