Build Together. Decentralize Everything.
A quiet revolution is happening inside engineering orgs across the country — teams are walking away from monolithic CI/CD platforms and building pipeline infrastructure they actually control. We dug into the real costs, the real headaches, and the real wins from teams who made the leap.
The old model of a lone maintainer calling all the shots is quietly cracking under the weight of modern open-source complexity.
