             Summary: Consider switching from Travis CI to Github Actions for flink-statefun's CI workflows
                 Key: FLINK-20161
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20161
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Build System / CI, Stateful Functions
            Reporter: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai
            Assignee: Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai


Travis-CI.com recently announced a new pricing model on Nov. 2, which affects public open source projects: https://blog.travis-ci.com/2020-11-02-travis-ci-new-billing

While its a bit unclear if Travis CI repos under {{travis-ci.com/github/apache}} is affected by this, this will definitely affect contributors who fork our repositories and enable Travis CI on their fork for development purposes.

Github Actions seems to be a popular alternative nowadays:
* No limited test time with its hosted builders, if repo is public
* Activation is automatic - one step / click less for contributors to get CI running for their forks

Given that the CI workflows in {{flink-statefun}} is very minimal right now, we propose to make the switch to Github Actions as the efforts to do that should be relatively trivial.
