Actions is many things. It’s an event dispatcher, an orchestrator, an execution engine and runtime, an artifact registry and caching system, a workflow modeler, a marketplace, and a secrets manager. And I didn’t even list all of the things Actions is. It’s better at some of those things and not others.

The systems I like to design that use GHA usually only use the good parts. GitHub is a fine events dispatcher, for instance, but a very bad workflow orchestrator. So delegate that to a system that is good at that instead
