alt Hacker NewsHey guys, I can't stop thinking about this idea. So I have 6 years of exp as cloud and devops engineer which means I have spent a lot of time doing ci/cd and stuff. And ci/cd usually runs on cloud which has a cost associated with it. Now i was thinking what if company can utilize the compute of the machines they give to employees to carry out such tasks like ci/cd. Simply put, companies should be able to run ci/cd on employees machines and reduce their spendings. WDYT? if anyone interested we can work on it together.
Don't want to discourage you. I've these questions:
1. Are you targeting startups or enterprises?
2. Do you foresee savings in the range of millions with this approach?
3. What if the ci/cd pipeline takes > x mins? should the laptop be turned on stayed connected to network during this time?
4. In an enterprise, a typical ci/cd pipeline get connected to other dependent services - eg. security pipeline (even 3P) etc. Now, every developer needs to onboard to those services?
