It is an awesome solution for continuous deployments. Quite good and a intuitive! But it is somehow expensive for a single developer. They had a free solution for a self-hosted instance but no 175$. Too much. And you have to pay the server so it is about 200$/m. Does not worth it. Hope some day they will think in lonely developers.
Buddy's UI is the most intuitive of any CI/CD tool that I've tried. It's simple to set up new projects and pipelines without needing to add a configuration file. Sharing projects is straightforward as well. I have personal experience with Jenkins, Semaphore, CircleCI, Bitbucket Pipelines, DeployBot, and DeployHQ (and perhaps others); Buddy is the best by far.
I agree with other reviews that their paid tiers are pretty expensive, but their free tier is quite generous and has met my needs so far. I haven't tried it, but apparently you can spin up a Buddy droplet on Digital Ocean for $5 per month, which is a great option.
It's the best devops platform out-there
I like Buddy because with It we can get some time to work and to create new ideas... All job can be execute by it if you set well. It's awesome!!!
As of February 2021, there's no better solution for CI/CD in terms of UX. Straightforward, easy to use, everything is clear. Got it working in an hour? Buddy guides you with everything even with ssh config of your server. The free tier is generous. However, gets quite expensive when you aim to get more which shouldn't be problem as the project would have to be big enough to have the budget. If you aim to use something on-premise, just use drone.io which is really easy to use as well, just a bit scary at first when you have to write config in yaml versus being able to click everything out.
An awesome no nonsense CI/CD tool, easy to use and yet very powerful. Free for small use and reasonable prices for pro's.
I like Buddy because it's really easy and intuitive to use. You can find every feature with no stress. It's my first professional experience that i'm having it with an CI/CD and i'im loving it. Also i'm planning to use on my future personal project since it's possible to start using FOR FREE without registring any credit card, and they seem very easy to set up new projects!
Buddy works!
