Outgrowing Bulldozer?

Migration guide

Bulldozer got us started, but as soon as we hit scale, our CI was constantly overloaded. We postponed but should have transitioned to Mergify earlier.

We previously used Bulldozer but with Mergify's Merge Queue we cut our CI runs by 40% and we got really good visibility into flaky tests.
