Thanks so much for this! For me the main concerns are:
Once prebuild/docker-images#8 is available in Docker Hub, we'll do a test release here and evaluate. |

@vweevers Side note. Why isn't osx using if: tag is present?

Because that job runs tests too

My understanding of this is that if: tag is present says "only invoke this if the current commit is tagged, so is probably a release that needs a prebuild". Otherwise it's just a normal test run. So osx gets test runs and prebuilds, but the prebuild-only jobs (arm and alpine) only get invoked when you need a prebuild and they don't get tests.
Maybe it's a good idea to also invoke alpine and centos7 builds on normal commits, not just tagged ones, and run the tests as well inside those containers?

Running tests in docker containers would make build times too long IMO.
Sounds good! |

Build time is excellent:

Using the new prebuildify-cross (prebuild/prebuildify-cross#7). This makes the prebuilt binary for linux compatible with Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04, RHEL 7, CentOS 7 and other flavors with an old glibc. Following Level/leveldown#674.

This rocksdb PR additionally uses the new prebuildify-cross (prebuild/prebuildify-cross#7). That's a github dependency for now; waiting for npm ownership.

For your consideration, no pressure on this if it's reaching too far, I won't be upset if you don't like it!
