CircleCI etc are decent at this.

This is an excellent article. How does GitHub CI/CD compare to this?

Does this replace traditional providers such as CircleCI or TravisCI?

chrishacken Nov 23, 2016 View on HN

What does this do that CircleCI doesn't? Why should I switch from CircleCI to this?

You could give GitLab CI a try ...

Does this have a CI/CD solution? I don't see anything from skimming the user docs.
