Pilot Gitness with one small repository and its real build pipeline. Open a change, run tests, produce an artifact, and deliberately fail a job. Check logs, secret handling, runner isolation, branch permissions, and whether a teammate can diagnose the failure.
Export the repository and record how pipeline definitions and settings are backed up. A developer platform has to survive upgrades and outages as well as pass builds. Compare its total operating burden with your existing forge and CI service before migrating a whole organization.
