With the proposed optimizations, it seems you can still do a fair amount
of work under the free plan.
Potential paths forward for cfbot, in addition to the above:
- Pay for compute / ask the various cloud providers to grant us compute
credits. At least some of the cloud providers can be used via cirrus-ci.
- Host (some) CI runners ourselves. Particularly with macos and windows, that
could provide significant savings.
- Build our own system, using buildbot, jenkins or whatnot.
I think we should use the "compute credits" plan from Cirrus CI. It
should be possible to estimate the costs for that. Money is available,
I think.
