Shameless plug: I created a new CI/CD tool called AlloyCI.
It is written in Elixir, and is heavily based on GitLab CI. It, in fact, can use the GitLab CI Runner as an executor for all the jobs. It also provides its own runner, that is a fork of GitLab's.
For the time being it is still in beta, but the main goal is to make it a viable option for people looking for a new CI tool.
As of right now, it has about 85% of the functionality that GitLab CI has, configuration is written in JSON (but we are thinking about transitioning to YAML), and it should be pretty straight forward to install and use. We provide Docker Images to get started quickly, and also a "Deploy to Heroku" button to try it out there too.
The main use for AlloyCI is to install it on premises, and add as many runners as you need. Since the runners are written in Go, binaries are available for all platforms. It supports Docker, Docker+Machine, SSH, VirtualBox, and Shell as ways to execute your builds.
With Docker+Machine you can have auto-scalable runners, e.g. one machine is in charge of deploying and destroying other runners. This works great with Digital Ocean. Runners will be created as needed, and everything about how many are created, how long they stay up, and more can be easily configured.
Since it is written in Elixir, it consumes very little system resources, it's highly stable, and should be able to process large amounts of concurrent requests.
I would love it if you could give it a try, and tell us what you like, what you don't like, what you hate, what you love, etc.
We really want to make AlloyCI a true alternative ❤️

Nice. Yes, transitioning to YAML is a good option, it makes the tool easy to use. All the very best:)
