- Requires native integration with Apache Kafka or Amazon Kinesis for real-time ingestion; custom integrations need development
- High-concurrency query support (hundreds of thousands QPS) requires significant cluster infrastructure investment
Bitbucket
- Limited build minutes compared to GitHub Actions - free tier capped at 50 minutes/month vs unlimited on GitHub
- Reliability issues with frequent outages reported by users
- No native way to execute Bitbucket Pipeline YAML files locally for testing
- Smaller ecosystem and community compared to GitHub
