I find any talk about continuous integration that does not deal with migrations and data persistence a bit of a joke. I'm going to guess the writer is hoping to run migrations/db changes while maintenance mode is enabled.
Thanks for pointing out the errors, we'll fix that. We've been around for over a year with half a year of beta period before that.
The whole thing is really fast and stable: we chose Docker containers to run builds which ensures speed and compatibility across the whole team + contrary to some other CI/CD software we only deploy changed files which results in really fast deployments.
Generally Java at work but Python and .NET when I get the chance. Is there any chance for Windows Docker containers? I know it's tricky and could be costly...
We've got dedicated build actions for Java, .NET/.NET Core and Python that you can use to build and test your app. What do you mean by Windows Docker containers exactly?
A container in which you can run Windows processes. I'll be honest and admit that I haven't done my homework on this and I don't even know if anyone does this.
Windows Containers only went GA fairly recently with Windows Server 2016, so it is unlikely that many are using them yet. I have yet to see any CI services that mention any plans to support windows containers or acknowledge their existence.
This initially came off as a new way to more efficiently manage project development and builds, but now it seems like it's just another CI platform. Or am I missing something?
Basically the speed and ease of configuration. You're able to set up and clone your whole environment in 15-20 minutes + we put special pressure on shortening the build-test-deploy to minimum: you can create a pipeline that will reflect your Circle-CI workflow and compare how long it takes to finish.
Thanks Ed, I guarantee it won't take long to reproduce your workflow with Buddy's pipelines. As for the documentation, you can find it here: https://buddy.works/help
This looks very promising. I've been looking for a ci/CD platform that builds docker images and has pipelines. I even started building my own cause I couldn't find anything out there.
Interestingly, we open sourced Pipelines[1] a week ago.
We felt a lot of the automation platforms out there are still very focused on a narrow "clone from GitHub/BitBucket → build → test → deploy" use case.
The only alternatives we had for more complicated scenarios were things like Jenkins. I'm not a fan. With Pipelines, you get up and running in 2 minutes with:
pip install pipelines
We use Ansible, Docker and a few other tools that just need to be easily run and orchestrated. We also wanted to have logs and letting colleagues easily trigger things from Slack/Web UI.
We're adding a few plugin (Docker, scheduler, LDAP, GitHub login, SMS...) for some of our needs. Would be interesting to see how this works for other people.

Also, sorry for this, but my OCD is taking over:
> Wait, their could be more // their -> there
> your Pipeline got you covered // got -> has (unless you want to use slang, which could be an option)

What languages/frameworks are you into?
Why do you think it's just another CI platform now? :)
CircleCI don't have a clear documentation about all the possibilites the service can do.
buddy install clearly uses docker-compose, just give users the docker-compose file!
