Fire CI – Local CI server for GitHub with peer-to-peer option for teams
Hi HN! I'm Jean-Paul, the creator of Fire CI (https://fire.ci). I've been a dev for 10 years and building Fire CI for the past 6 months. Fire CI is a server that runs local builds in Docker on your own computer. It uses an installable agent to broker the builds with GitHub and also co-ordinates builds between your local server and other members of your team (optional). It's fast because there is no queueing and a tiny piece of your computer is more powerful than most hosted or rented cloud servers. It's scalable by design: each developer brings his own computing power. And IMHO the…
Fire CI – Local CI server for GitHub with peer-to-peer option for teams launched on March 22, 2019 with 11 votes, #1,033 of 2,994 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Fire CI is a continuous integration server that runs Docker-based builds locally on developers' computers and integrates with GitHub. It uses an agent to coordinate builds with GitHub and optionally across team members' machines. For development teams seeking faster build feedback, Fire CI eliminates queueing delays by leveraging individual developers' computing power. Build logs and statuses appear in real-time locally and on GitHub. The system scales by distributing computation across team members' existing hardware rather than relying on centralized cloud infrastructure.

Hello, HN community, I'm really excited to show you Open Fire a serverless CI, how does it work? relying on serverless technologies (firecracker) we can spin up a new VM in less than 200 ms running in a more powerful and newest CPU on the market, just change 1 line of code on your GitHub Actions Workflow and you're up and running! You can see our use case, where we implemented Open Fire in the NextJS repo taking down build time from 1 hour 17 minutes to 26 minutes which is a 66 % of improvement without any engineering effort! [1] The value of a CI/CD Pipeline is inversely proportional…
