"A unique first class support for Kubernetes"

5/5

What do you like best about Codefresh?

The Kubernetes first-class integration makes it easier to adopt a "per branch" continuous delivery deployment. This powerful feature can be leveraged together with the templating features and pipeline variables to really standardize and simplify CI/CD across an organisation.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

Although it is possible to create triggers for the pipelines from the UI, triggers are a relevant part of CI/CD pipelines configuration and they should be defined as code and versioned as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

If you are looking for a Kubernetes-first platform to build your CI/CD strategy, Codefresh is a great tool, especially if you are looking to adopt GitOps methodology. If you are not embracing microservices and Kubernetes, you might opt for a different CI/CD tool with a different or a more general focus: although Codefresh is flexible and can be used for most CI/CD pipelines use cases, their focus is clearly on K8 and microservices and I expect them to always prioritize features on their roadmap that are mostly useful for developers that use these technologies and architectural approaches.

What problems is Codefresh solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our goal was to have full CI/CD pipelines which integrates easily with several Kubernetes cluster, as well as the possibility of run automated tests in a docker-compose like setup. Thanks to Codefresh, our testing strategy has become more flexible: we didn't have anymore to mock all external services, such as databases or message brokers, for testing purposes, but we could selectively decide which ones to mock and which ones to run in a docker-compose during pipeline execution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
