Outgrowing Bors?
Although Bors laid the groundwork for merge queues, it's now largely deprecated and no longer maintained. If your team needs an actively supported solution with advanced merge queues and CI-aware workflows, Mergify is the natural upgrade.

Migration guideWe started out with Bors and it did the job at first. But as the team grew, our CI kept getting clogged and the lack of updates really showed. Honestly, we should've moved to Mergify way sooner.

We outgrew Bors. Mergify not only stabilized our merge process but also gave us cost visibility on CI runs — something we never had before.
