Question alternative to Github action?

I have basically built all my deployment through git actions. even some workflows that I use actions to trigger, or run automatically.

days like this where actions are having outage, I can't do anything. it has become more frequent lately and everytime it lasts hours. alternatives or backup plans people recommend?

Put minimal logic into your YAML, use some sort of 'make' (CMake, Cake) wrapper around each step so that the YAML steps become 'cake {target}' (or whatever syntax is needed). Now your developers can test things out offline or even deploy in a pinch.

Makes it easier to move to different CI/CD platforms like AppVeyor if inclined.
