Interesting. Author specifically talks about sharp edges of running a SaaS with real customers on real services, and consequences.

Example: each customer/project needs "just one more" project added to the base image.

Also: GitHub goes down, or sends events out of order, or events get lost.

Hi, I'm the founder of actuated. We've been building a SaaS to help customers run their CI workloads in secure, isolated Firecracker VMs - to improve security and throughput.
