Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Codeship to manage our deployment and continuous integration pipelines across different environments, version control hosts, and technology stacks. We have implemented CI/CD workflows for various clients using Codeship, and its versatility in being able to handle different cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, GCP, and even plain old on-prem servers has made it an invaluable tool that can be applied to all requirements. The fact that it is a managed service on the cloud removes the headache of having to maintain our own instance of it.

Pros

Inter-cloud deployments
Integration with different version control providers
Easy-to-use UI
Quick configuration

Cons

Better capabilities for deploying CI/CD pipelines as code
Better support for enterprise-grade customers
Better logical grouping capability for projects

Likelihood to Recommend

Codeship is extremely well suited for projects that are version controlled on public hosting such as Github or Bitbucket, and for situations where you need to pick up code from these systems and deploy it to different cloud environments. For example, we had two projects for the same client that were hosted on Github and needed to be deployed to AWS and Heroku. The native CI/CD tools of these cloud environments could not provide a holistic solution to deploy to both environments the way Codeship did.

Review of Codeship from the perspective of overall reliability in a small development team

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our company we use Codeship as part of our suite of devops tools to deliver web sites/apps to our various cloud servers. It has helped significantly streamline and speed up our deployment process to any of our clients' servers for development, staging, and actual production servers.

Pros

Codeship provides a set of tools for quickly creating and building our deployment artifacts and push them to the designated servers.
Codeship's hooks allows our developers to simply push tags from our git repositories to initiate a deployment of code to a server. No one outside of the devops team needs any expertise to get our code packages delivered.
Codeship allows us to tie in behat and unit tests easily to prevent delivery of buggy code.

Cons

The only real gripe I have with Codeship is with regards to its single sign-on experience within the website. Occasionally I accidentally try to sign in with my GitHub account instead of my Bitbucket account. By the time I realize the error, it is stuck in a transition state that it does not let me "sign out of". This is fixed by clearing cookies, but it would be nice to see some sort of sign out option before you are fully signed in.

Likelihood to Recommend

Codeship is very well suited to teams that have specialized devops members along with other specialized developers. It lets the other developers focus on what they do best, without having to learn another technology stack. This has cut down on a lot of headaches at our company with developers needing to deploy code to various different hosting services across different content management systems. The experience to push code is essentially the same for a developer no matter what the underlying technology is.
