Chose Azure Pipelines
We have used the GitHub CI/CD. Earlier we were using the Azure Pipelines but after GitHub had their actions, we integrated that for CI/CD. It runs the tests and makes a production build which can be live. GitHub CI/CD is more useful because we have to make script only once then …
Chose Azure Pipelines
The tools are very similar - but Azure Pipelines work best for Azure-based products are better suited for the stack. For our engineers, we could switch between all the various continuous integration/deployment tools without much issues, but it makes sense to use the stack …
Buildkite
Chose Buildkite
Buildkite was easy to use and setup while comparing Circle CI or Github. Additionally Buildkite was very affordable for teams while comparing github plans

With a fully Microsoft Azure based workflow - Azure Pipelines makes absolute sense. Azure Pipelines are robust and work very well with SonarQube for test coverage and are shared with our developers. This prevents the developers for pushing code without unit tests across our backend and frontend platforms. We have reduced our instances of manual regression tests especially when there are multiple teams working across the same repositories.

I would definitely recommend Buildkite for anyone who needs a decent CI solution for 50+ on AWS instance without paying huge amount for AWS Build and code deploy tools.

We have used the GitHub CI/CD. Earlier we were using the Azure Pipelines but after GitHub had their actions, we integrated that for CI/CD. It runs the tests and makes a production build which can be live. GitHub CI/CD is more useful because we have to make script only once then just by few changes we can deploy it onto Azure, AWS, Google anywhere so we found it more convenient

Return on Investment
  • We don't have to deploy changes manually
  • But because of this that we automated some tasks, we need to be still aware of some edge cases we can meet and which can cause a pipelines failures
  • We can deploy changes pretty fast
