At getstream.io we ended up running Github Actions on Hetzner. The end-result is 4x faster builds for 3x less $$$.

Running workers ourselves was the last resort, we tried everything else but it was impossible to get fast (and consistent) build times otherwise.

In a way we are now going to get charged for Github's poor execution on Actions.

How are you guys running it? Is it via RunsOn, Ubicloud? We just moved ours to Blacksmith since I still don't want to manage the worker ourselves yet. But with this change, we might be looking into cheaper, better alternatives if there's any.
