Postgres until now has been using cirrus-ci for CI. Unfortunately they're shutting down June 1st.

They had been a good fit for us because:
- some free credits so everyone could run some CI on their own
- supported providing own compute for more demanding cases (via GCP and self hosted mac HW)
- jobs ran in one-off VMs
- support for custom images allowed us to pre-install everything, keeping test times manageable
- VMs not containers was good for perf
- CI job definitions could be run locally

Any suggestions / experiences where to look next?

For our own compute we've been averaging daily:
- 1464 core hours (full cores, not SMT)
- 396 of which were windows (visible due to the licensing cost)
- 40GB of artifacts
- doesn't include macos, which I can't track as easily, due to being self hosted runners

So we will likely need something where we can continue to provide compute ourselves, to keep this affordable.
