Codeship vs Octopus Deploy: What are the differences?
Developers describe Codeship as "A Continuous Integration Platform in the cloud". Codeship runs your automated tests and configured deployment when you push to your repository. It takes care of managing and scaling the infrastructure so that you are able to test and release more frequently and get faster feedback for building the product your users need. On the other hand, Octopus Deploy is detailed as "Automated deployment for .NET". Octopus works with your build server to enable reliable, secure, automated releases of ASP.NET applications and Windows Services into test, staging and production environments, whether they are in the cloud or on-premises.
Codeship belongs to "Continuous Integration" category of the tech stack, while Octopus Deploy can be primarily classified under "Deployment as a Service".
Some of the features offered by Codeship are:
- Run you automated tests | Easily set up Codeship with Github or Bitbucket and trigger your automated tests with a simple push to your repository.
- 100 builds & 5 private projects free per month.
- Free for OSS.
On the other hand, Octopus Deploy provides the following key features:
- Deploy on-premises or to the cloud, securely
- Built for .NET developers
- Configuration and scripting
"Simple deployments" is the primary reason why developers consider Codeship over the competitors, whereas "Powerful" was stated as the key factor in picking Octopus Deploy.
Product Hunt, Swat.io, and InVisionApp are some of the popular companies that use Codeship, whereas Octopus Deploy is used by Starbucks, Olo, and Huddle. Codeship has a broader approval, being mentioned in 277 company stacks & 82 developers stacks; compared to Octopus Deploy, which is listed in 47 company stacks and 15 developer stacks.
