Rationale
GitHub Actions is a CI/CD platform that automates software workflows, which aligns with the concept of building internal tools and automating processes. While it doesn't explicitly offer a drag-and-drop UI builder like Retool, it provides extensive capabilities for integrating with various services (APIs), running custom code (JavaScript, Python, etc.), and deploying applications. It also emphasizes security features, debugging, version control, and workflow automation, which are key aspects of the Retool concept.
