Opiniones de Buddy

- Easy to set up, minimal setup requred.
- Easy to manage.
- On premises deployment, use own servers, multiple concurrent builds.

I did not find anything that I didn't like until now.

Buddy introduces a very easy to use GUI, rather than composing the YAML file manually. I really like how you can see the progress through the steps, when running a pipeline. This also is worth its weight in gold when it comes to debugging a step or process.

I do feel like the paid plans could be more flexible, maybe add the ability to mix add-ons to plans. For example, adding more projects to a plan or more minutes to allowance. I am pretty frugal and don't like to pay for something if I don't have to. However this is definately worth the investment.

WHEN it works, it has a few good features. It allows you to a basic CI/CD for a small projects, that's about it.

There's about 2h a day their support works, you have to wait for hours to get any response. And once you do 99% of those responses are "not our fault, try removing all projects, all integrations and try again".
On the top of that anything more complex that "hello world" runs out of their apparent 2CPU 2GB deployment server. Want more resources? Wait for 24h until dev team has this 2h of work somewhere in India.

- Sexy UI
- Works beautifully
- Less stress and time spent on deployments

A few UI quirks here and there, but that's not really a con.

We like how easy it is to add new pipelines, and monitor build processes.

Unsupported to generate iOS apps, so you need to subscribe to another service to do this

Super easy. Even limited technical persons can use this.

Honestly, I cannot think of anything I don't like

Buddy has the most convenient CI/CD and deployment functionalities. It's web-UI based work flow builder really stands out and helps beginner mobile devs to easily use continuous integration.

Buddy's Pro plan doesn't really suffice for memory-hungry builds. Especially in android builds, I felt it's 3GB Ram for Pro plan isn't really close to what we need. Builds would usually fail due to memory issues, no matter how optimized the pipeline is

This service is a beast, from the way you start configuring your pipeline from an existing repository and all the available actions to the fully specified real-time log of the executed actions, the ability to clone existing pipelines and the analytics provided and the possibility to rollback

The only thing that we didn't like was the quantity of projects that you can have in the free version but that doesn't justify the overall quality of the service

Flexibility. We use it to deploy anything from web apps with Vue.js, server-side applications with Laravel, WordPress and Node without any issues.

Lack of documentation to set up automated tests. I'd like to run unit tests with Jest, so it would be great if there was clear examples on how to do so and fail a deploy on failed tests.

I love working in my terminal, but when the UX/UI of a product is as good as this, I love working in a GUI too. The UI is completely intuitive and very fun to use.

From a functionality point of view, the system is incredible. Being able to quickly spin up very complex builds & deployments, and then tie in all sorts of notifications is a dream come true. YML is fine, but being able to tie in all these steps with a visual pipeline editor/builder, is a treat and I thoroughly enjoy using it.

It's expensive. It's worth every penny, but its still a lot of pennies to pay every month for a small team / freelancer. There is a free plan, but you'll quickly hit the 120 builds per month limit.

Buddy.works has made our deployment process a lot faster and easier.

Would like a way to group projects together.

It's so easy to create a new project and setup the actions needed for deployment. What I also like is the possibility to clone a project and to setup variables within a project.

That's not really about the product itself, but about the pricing. I'm still on an old plan, but now even the smallest plan starts at $75/month. That's quite expensive if you have just a couple of projects.

Buddy makes it easy to setup different pipelines for your staging and production servers. There are a large selection of pipeline actions available - integrations and tools to fit everyone's workflow. The Buddy interface is easy to navigate and the team has evidently put a lot of care into their product.

I can't think of any big cons off the top of my head. Maybe one thing is that the pricing can be kinda steep, especially if you're a really small team or a freelancer.

Buddy is fast, it's easy, it's advanced. Buddy enables us to deploy without lots of hassle. We work with git-flow and as soon as we push a release, Buddy is ready to deploy it. We really love the advanced deployment features

Buddy might be a bit overwhelming at first, after you learn the terms, where to setup a project, it will all be a walk in the park

We love the stability it has provided as well as consistently deploying our code, both compiled and 'raw' to all of our services.

We've occasionally had glitches in deployment, but these were rectified very quickly and communicated to us by the team at Buddy.

With Buddy I was able to consolidate my deployment tools, and save money. The platform is super intuitive and more powerful than what we were using previously.

A couple years ago my team uncovered a small issue with one of the deployment actions, but after working with Buddy's support team they resolved the problem!

It easily integrates with many of the tools we use, and saves us a lot of time. As a secondary benefits, it helps our clients feel more comfortable as we can have deliverables more often for them.

For some of our clients it would be easier to have a more expanded free tier so they are more comfortable using the product earlier on once they have to get their own buddy account.

Ability to run commands after deploys, like do: migrate fez: sweep on rails apps.
Notifications on slack or other channels for all success/fail/recoveries
Integration with git and ability to create complex deployment actions per commit.
