Hi everyone 👋
We are making some big changes in Reviewpad!
At the moment, it is possible to run Reviewpad as a GitHub action and a GitHub app.
Today, we are announcing that the Reviewpad core team will stop updating the Reviewpad action at the end of the v3.x series and we have delisted the GitHub action from the GitHub marketplace.
This means that the version 3.27.0 will be the last supported version on the Reviewpad action.
If you are wondering why we are doing this and our solution, read on!
The problems with Reviewpad GitHub action
Running Reviewpad as a GitHub action has some advantages for users:
However, it has some serious disadvantages:
Our solution: Reviewpad service as a GitHub app
For the past few months, we have found that moving to a service via the GitHub app solves all these problems:
For a while now, the core team has been both supporting the GitHub action and the app but that was not sustainable:
Information to current users of the GitHub action
At the core of our mission is an ecosystem to provide the best developer experience when it comes pull requests.
For current users of the action, we will keep providing support on the action. The action is pointing to a Docker image which we will continue to host on Docker Hub for the unforseeable future.
However, at this stage we do not plan to release bug fixes and actively recommend that you migrate to the Reviewpad GitHub App.
This migration only involves two steps:
The GitHub app is compatible with the action and will pick up the Reviewpad configuration file at the root of the repository.
We will work with current users of the GitHub action to ensure that any gaps in functionality between the action and the app will be closed so that they can continue to benefit from Reviewpad.
To address any security concerns about the service, Reviewpad's core will not only continue to be open-source but we have started the process to obtain SOC 2 attestation for the entire service.
As always, we are available to help and discuss the future of Reviewpad either here or in our Discord server.
