Advice on Azure DevOps, GitLab CI

Stratos

Jan 13, 2020

Needs advice

We are a mid-size startup running Scala apps. Moving from Jenkins/EC2 to Spinnaker/EKS and looking for a tool to cover our CI/CD needs. Our code lives on GitHub, artifacts in nexus, images in ECR.

Drone is out, GitHub actions are being considered along with Circle CI and GitLab CI.

We primarily need:

Fast SBT builds (caching)
Low maintenance overhead (ideally serverless)
Everything as code
Ease of use

Decided

Buddy is one of the most easy-to-use tools for CI I ever met. When I needed to set up the pipeline I was really impressed with how easy it is to create it with Buddy with only a few moments. It's literally like: 1. Add repo 2. Click - Click - Click 3. You're done and your app is on prod :D The top feature that I've found is a simple integration with different notification channels - not only Slack (which is the one by default), but Telegram and Discord. The support is also neat - guys respond pretty quickly on even a small issue.

Detailed Comparison

Azure DevOps	GitLab CI
Azure DevOps provides unlimited private Git hosting, cloud build for continuous integration, agile planning, and release management for continuous delivery to the cloud and on-premises. Includes broad IDE support.	GitLab offers a continuous integration service. If you add a .gitlab-ci.yml file to the root directory of your repository, and configure your GitLab project to use a Runner, then each merge request or push triggers your CI pipeline.
Agile Tools: kanban boards, backlogs, scrum boards; Reporting: dashboards, widgets, Power BI; Git: free private repositories, pull requests; Continuous Integration: automated builds and diagnostics; Cloud build agents: cross-platform agents for Windows, Mac and Linux; Testing Tools: unit testing, load testing, manual, exploratory and user acceptance testing; Release Management: automate deployments, gated approval workflows, audit trails; Marketplace: extensions for the Visual Studio family of products; Package Management: host npm and NuGet packages; IDE Support: Eclipse, IntelliJ, Xcode and Visual Studio; Integration: link code and releases to work items, builds, and test results	-
