Ask HN: Your choices for a modern self-hosted CI/CD software stack today

If you could design a CI/CD solution from the ground up today, which tools would you use today? Would you still consider Jenkins?

Jenkins is pretty good, by which I mean that it's ancient software and deals in XML and is hateful, but there's nothing better I've found. If your needs are:

* self-hosted

* cross-platform (Mac, Win, Linux)

* tasks run on an agent and get communicated back to the leader

* plugins for managing an AWS fleet or running tasks inside Docker

.. then I think there's nothing else that has the full featureset. GitLab CI seems close. I liked the look of drone.io a lot, but requiring Docker for tasks means that I can't test on Windows machines.
