GitHub Actions
CI that lives in the repository it builds. Workflows are YAML in the tree, and the marketplace supplies the steps.
Won CI by already being where the code was.
What it is sold for
Running builds, tests and deployments on repository events.

Named alongside
These entries mention each other by name. It is a weak relationship and it is the only one the catalogue can show without inventing something.
Named by:
- CI runners billed by real usage rather than idle time, compatible with GitLab and GitHub workflows.
Same shelf
The rest of ci, cd and infrastructure, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Automation for finance operations, built as workflows rather than as spreadsheets.
- Agentless configuration management over SSH, with playbooks in YAML and no daemon on the target.
- Orchestrates AWS services as a state machine, so retries and failure branches are configuration rather than code.
- Artifact and release management for teams shipping binaries: mobile, desktop, games, XR and embedded.
- Process orchestration for long-running work that spans people, systems and now agents, with the model as the executable.
- A hosted CI platform, one of the older ones, now marketing itself around validating machine-written changes.
- Metrics, logs, traces and a great deal more in one platform. The default answer for large-scale monitoring, and priced like it.
- Deploys from a git host to servers with build steps, zero-downtime releases and one-click rollback.
