Whoa, nifty. Can you speak more to the interop issues with Nix? I've been working on a pretty large Nix deployment in the robotics space for the past 3ish years, and the infrastructure side is the biggest pain point:
* Running a bare `nix build` in your CI isn't really enough— no hosted logs, lack of proper prioritization, may end up double-building things.
* Running your own instance of Hydra is a gigantic pain; it's a big ball of perl and has compiled components that link right into Nix internals, and architectural fiasco.
* SaaS solutions are limited and lack maturity (Hercules CI is Github-only, nixbuild.net is based in Europe and last I checked was still missing some features I needed).
* Tvix is cool but not ready for primetime, and the authors oppose flakes, which is a deal-breaker for me.
Something that's a barebones capable of running these builds and could be wrapped in a sane REST API and simple web frontend would be very appealing.
