Buddy | Simple DevOps Automations
What do you like best about the product?
Buddy is a simple and easy to setup platform for DevOps. With the many actions offered in pipelines there is no limit to setting up automations and triggers for way more than just deployments. I particularly like the Shopify action that syncs with store theme names taking away the annoyance of copying theme id's. It's also really easy to use environment variables and running node scripts is just awesome. Buddy also has a great chat support that responds quickly and provides good solutions to problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much I dislike. The documentation is pretty good if I has to pick something it would be having more access to Slack notifications key and values.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Buddy for a variety of things from deployment to API calls. The main thing buddy solves for us is deploying to shopify with the same codebase over 3-5 stores.

Powerfully simple CI/CD system
What do you like best about the product?
As someone who has used Jenkins for many years, Buddy.works is a breath of fresh air. It's incredibly simple to get started with and have a full CI/CD pipeline running in literally minutes. Yet at the same time, it's powerful enough to be fully customizable for custom pipeline actions. We run many pipelines for many services using Buddy which range from simple "deploy to this AWS environment" to complex 20 step workflows involving other external platforms like Shopify.
I can't talk about the full Buddy.works experience without mentioning support though. While it's a bit of a pain with timezones, the Buddy support and and developer people are among some of the best I've worked with. Super responsive, really care about making the customer successful and often finding innovative solutions. 11/10 for support.

What do you dislike about the product?
The way credentials are stored is per user rather than per project/workspace. This model is very weird and causes a lot of pain if a user leaves the workspace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CI/CD using trunk based development is our primary case for several services related to our SAAS business hosted on AWS. We use Buddy.works to test and deploy our software before deploying it to our AWS infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get started using the UI and then convert to using YAML based pipelines
Buddy is a fast and stable collaboration platform
What do you like best about the product?
Buddy is an excellent tool for sharing uploaded projects in my repositories. I highlight its virtues of minimalist interface design and the fluidity of its navigation pages. I like that it has the capacity to make corrections to the developed codes. I also like being able to access the platform from anywhere in the world and through any device.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main disadvantage that Buddy has is its monthly cost, since it is above other famous platforms such as Github, Bitbucket or GitLab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Buddy guarantees our organization the privacy of our technological projects. This tool allows us to create private repositories either through integrations or Buddy's own repository, thus avoiding any plagiarism of data and implementing the innovation of cloud technology.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buddy is a stable and fast project collaboration platform. It will allow you to share your development projects and documentation to your colleagues. In my opinion, this application has great potential in the future since they are in an innovation direction and is demonstrated in each update.
Make things easy with Buddy software.
What do you like best about the product?
With this software, it is very easy to get started with, intuitive. No real need to familiarize yourself with how the tooling works. Building the deployment flow, aka pipeline is very intuitive. You can create multiple pipelines to manage all the necessary processes to run your application. Upload files to multiple servers, compile applications and send notifications.
What do you dislike about the product?
When your pipeline does things that need a long execution time, Buddy can give a timeout and leave the task halfway done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This software has enabled me to upload GIT files to FTP without requiring me to configure anything on the destination server. It is very useful when you do not have SSH access or you just do not want to program complicated scripts. It has also helped us in projects deployment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really customer focused, good and fast support, easy to use and its always improving fast with new features. I highly recommend it to other companies.
Amazing CI experience!
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly easy to configure, has a beautiful design and UX that's very easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike; if anything simply the memory limits which are hit pretty quickly with JavaScript build tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Buddy has helped us with continuous integration and deployment. We're able to run tests automatically with every push to any branch. We can deploy to our staging server automatically when pushed to our staging branch. We can ensure that the environment, library versions, etc. are the same locally as they are on our live server. It's an incredibly flexible and powerful service and one of the few services that I think is worth paying for vs. building yourself.
Buddy.works just works!
What do you like best about the product?
Super clear and easy to find what we need. The easy to manage step system helps a lot!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it struggles with setting up configurations with Pantheon, but once you figure that out it really does make sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were having different deployment processes for all of our Wordpress projects and it was getting unruly. So Buddy really helped us get a set system of steps for an easy to use continuous deployment pipeline for Wordpress projects.
East to Configure
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to set up and deploy an application to AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
What do you dislike about the product?
Number of concurrent jobs you can do is based on the plan
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes zipping and deploying to AWS so much easier. It's faster than our in-house solutions and cheaper to run.
Great CI, Self-hosted, Doesn't break the bank
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that we are able to use buddy enterprise to self-host our CI server, we develop a lot of in host web applications and some are as simple as ftping files over to update the site, while others require us to deploy node apps buddy make all of this possible under a single pane of glass
What do you dislike about the product?
my only real complaint with buddy is their documentation is lacking both from setup guides to change logs for updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating software deployments to various endpoints from github has been a HUGE timesaver as well as allowing us to keep our code in a central repo.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its so far the only CI system that does what I need and was easy to setup 1-3 hr total setup time.
Getting started is easy and Great Customer Support
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using this for a couple of months and have really enjoyed playing with it. Getting started was a snap and the overall selection of plugins and out of the box features made this one of my favorite products I have used in a long time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, I really think they nailed the UI and features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is one of our first ventures into DevOps, we are starting to work on getting more and more deployments automated and this tool made it easy.
I am blown away
intuitive and powerful CI/CD platform that I could not find anywhere else. The platform that got me up and running with this awesome functionality in less than half an hour. Every part of this platform seems natural and just so awesome that I wouldn't switch back to any other service out there.
Thank you!
