There is no real business advantage or value add to switching CI/CD systems. The only people that do it no longer have anyone working for them that knows how the existing CI/CD system works, so the new person just replaces it with something else. They're all basically the same crap. Run a job, evaluate its output, maybe run another job, send a notification.
Whenever you run into a problem with a CI/CD system, it's because the system is "opinionated" and "tightly integrated", but of course lacks some obscure and subtle capability that you need to solve a problem. The fact that you are using a specific CI/CD system is what dooms you to eventually need another one to solve the problem that you current one cannot solve.
It's ridiculous that here we are in 2023 and nobody has completed an open source project that replaces general use CI & CD (for modern best practices & use cases; Jenkins is a curse from the pit of hell). Both CI & CD are just loops of jobs and logic that then decides what next job to run. What those jobs do are all different, but so what? Make an open source library of jobs and logic.
(for what it's worth, Drone.io is the best system I've ever used, and WoodpeckerCI is the open source equivalent, but it doesn't have a large community so work is very slow)
