Buddy looks nice as service, nice job. It doesn't seem expensive so that's also a bonus, I guess the real test is the reliability of the service.

How long have you been working on the service?

Also, sorry for this, but my OCD is taking over:

> Wait, their could be more // their -> there

> your Pipeline got you covered // got -> has (unless you want to use slang, which could be an option)

Hi oblio,

Thanks for pointing out the errors, we'll fix that. We've been around for over a year with half a year of beta period before that.

The whole thing is really fast and stable: we chose Docker containers to run builds which ensures speed and compatibility across the whole team + contrary to some other CI/CD software we only deploy changed files which results in really fast deployments.

What languages/frameworks are you into?

Generally Java at work but Python and .NET when I get the chance. Is there any chance for Windows Docker containers? I know it's tricky and could be costly...

This initially came off as a new way to more efficiently manage project development and builds, but now it seems like it's just another CI platform. Or am I missing something?
Kivlov84 · 9 years ago
Hi Chris,

Why do you think it's just another CI platform now? :)

What does this do that CircleCI doesn't? Why should I switch from CircleCI to this?

No, no, no, no. curl -sSL https://get.buddy.works | sh && sudo buddy install

buddy install clearly uses docker-compose, just give users the docker-compose file!

I use CircleCI and I am very satisfied. But I will take a look on Buddy, it seems more easy to configure, apparently.

CircleCI don't have a clear documentation about all the possibilites the service can do.

Thanks Ed, I guarantee it won't take long to reproduce your workflow with Buddy's pipelines. As for the documentation, you can find it here: https://buddy.works/help

It doesn't seem to address the problem of migrating data from one version to the next.

I find any talk about continuous integration that does not deal with migrations and data persistence a bit of a joke. I'm going to guess the writer is hoping to run migrations/db changes while maintenance mode is enabled.

Hi amelius, what do you mean by migrating data between versions?

Shameless plug.

Interestingly, we open sourced Pipelines[1] a week ago.

We felt a lot of the automation platforms out there are still very focused on a narrow "clone from GitHub/BitBucket → build → test → deploy" use case.

The only alternatives we had for more complicated scenarios were things like Jenkins. I'm not a fan. With Pipelines, you get up and running in 2 minutes with:

    pip install pipelines
We use Ansible, Docker and a few other tools that just need to be easily run and orchestrated. We also wanted to have logs and letting colleagues easily trigger things from Slack/Web UI.

We're adding a few plugin (Docker, scheduler, LDAP, GitHub login, SMS...) for some of our needs. Would be interesting to see how this works for other people.

This looks very promising. I've been looking for a ci/CD platform that builds docker images and has pipelines. I even started building my own cause I couldn't find anything out there.

Check out concourse.ci [example pipeline at https://ci.concourse.ci/]. It fully supports building docker images - https://github.com/concourse/docker-image-resource

I do this with Distelli, it's been great and works with my private npm, Consul, Vault, and other services, even on SmartOS (Joyent Triton).

Consider looking at GitLab CI. The Runner builds Docker images, it includes a docker registry, and we call pipeline steps stages.

I've found it docker support to be a bit cumbersome. But it's great that it's available!
Kivlov84 · 9 years ago
Thanks! Now you can finish building your own with Buddy :)

There's GoCD (www.go.cd)
