Codeship simplify and enhance your CI/CD pipeline by speeding the bug catching. Image caching feature integrate with docker and speed-up the build pipeline with help of docker image cache. The notification dashboard help in to let you know the process of your code and also let you know if any action is needed in case of break.

Codeship is a platform to achieve the Continues Integration. This open source tool comes with the two versions, Codeship basic and Codeship Pro. The advance user friendly web-based graphical user interface help in to implement the continuous integration pipeline for code delivery. Shared build nodes and parallel testing and deploy help in to speed up the development & delivery pipeline. We can scale-up the pipeline any time to optimize the testing and delivery process. Once the test cases pass it create the logs and automatically deploy system. Integration with Docker help in to easily managing the container in our build environment. The pro version have a advantage of configuration via the repository.

Codeship is really an amazing tool to get hands on it, but compare to its features its community size is not as large as expected they should work on to scale-up the community size. They should at-least provide the three parallel test pipeline in free version also as once the user implement it know the power of the parallel test pipeline.

The web-interface provide flexibility to set up and configure build server. The Codeship Basic version come with the 100 builds/month, a concurrent build agent and a parallel test pipeline with unlimited number of projects with no user and team limit. Best feature in it is dependency caching parallel test suites to speed up our builds and DevOps process.

Codeship provides the platform to deliver the code with confidence as it speeds up the development and operation process. Customization, maintaining and scaling the infrastructure is simple with the help of Codeship. Build & Automation test templates helps in catching the irrelevant code and bugs in CI/CD pipeline. The Flexible workflow allows us to control the build, test and deploy hierarchy can be modified as per need of the development pipeline.

Codeship come with the in-build integration but some plugins stop working after the upgrade. The Codeship basic as the feature is disabled. To work with Native Docker we need to upgrade it to Codeship PRO version which come with the flexible workflows and configuration options.

Codeship is good at telling you if something works, but not so great at detecting what is actually wrong with a piece of code.

In general, Codeship is good to have on our main software project. We have a quick view of whether our new code works. It helps to speed up the review process.

The main problem that we had as a team were false failures. We often saw that a code change that had no real issues would fail due to something external to the code itself. When we began upgrading our stack, we found that Codeship became more trouble than it was worth.

We use it as the main CI pipeline to execute tests and static checks over the code on each push. We also use it to automate the staging deployment. It's very useful to automatize the process and it's easy to configure it to use with Docker using a yaml file.

Easy to configure. Easy to understand what's doing. I like the webhooks and the automations you can do. We've integrated it with Slack so we receive notifications when something is not working properly on CI or when some builds finishes.

Sometimes the service does not work properly because of the downtime but it's something that lately they were improving and it's not happening very frequently. The problem is that when you base your deployment on this kind of tools, you get blocked if the service is down. It may be our fault and probably we should have an alternative for that situations.

Codeship has enabled me to manage application deployment automation across heterogenous platforms, providing easy-to-use integrations with both deployment environments and version control systems.

Codeship provides a well-integrated, simplistic approach to creating build pipelines on a variety of platforms. Be it major cloud platform providers or your simple webhosting where you copy your files using SFTP, Codeship has the solution for you. Integrations with major platforms are out of the box and very easy to configure. It also provides a good deal of integrations with various version control providers so that you can trigger your code deployments with a single push to your repository. Codeship also provides simple and effective monitoring tools and notifications.

At times, the parameters implementing a particular configuration such as SFTP push may not be self-evident. However, this can be resolved easily by reading the documentation.
