## What it is
Agola is a self-hosted, distributed CI/CD platform written in Go that executes containerized, reproducible build and deployment workflows triggered by git events. It scales from a single-process instance to a highly available distributed deployment and integrates with multiple git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea) simultaneously.

## Use cases
- self-hosted ci cd pipeline runner
- run build and deploy workflows from git push or pull request
- matrix builds with fan-in fan-out task dependencies
- deploy to kubernetes from ci pipeline
- test ci pipeline definitions on different environments before production
- run ci jobs locally without pushing to git
- multi git provider continuous integration in one installation
- restart failed ci tasks from the same commit

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted CI/CD system that scales from single instance to highly available distributed deployments
- you need to integrate multiple git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea) in a single CI installation
- you want run definitions versioned in git and generated with a real templating language like jsonnet
- you need reproducible, containerized, restartable runs with at-most-once deployment semantics
- you want to execute tasks on Kubernetes, Docker, or bare metal with the same definition

## When to avoid
- you just need a simple hosted CI service with zero setup and a large plugin marketplace
- your team relies on an ecosystem of prebuilt CI actions and community integrations
- you need a mature permissions system out of the box (still a work in progress)
- you prefer YAML-only pipeline configuration without learning jsonnet

## Facets
- artifact type: service
