CircleCI can be configured to deploy code to various environments including AWS CodeDeploy, AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS), AWS S3, Google Container Engine (GKE) and Heroku. Other cloud service deployments are scripted using SSH or by installing the API client. CircleCI supports languages that are built on Linux, C++, Javascript, .NET, PHP, Python and Ruby. Users can speed up the app-building process with expanded caching options including images, source codes, dependencies and custom caches.

Great build/deploy tool

It's quick, easy to set up, and I like it. There are some usability fixes that are needed around user maangement, but otherwise, it's great! And works with all of the languages I use out of the box, and with no configuration.

PROS

CircleCI was great and easy to set up. It allows me to see what's going on with all of my builds quickly and in real time.

CONS

The user management is not very good. I have 5 contributors to a repo, and I can only add two of them as users. I can't even add users that aren't a contributor to the repo. My boss, my QA people, and my PMs can't see anything that's happening in the platform.

The right CI system for our DevOps

We used this CI/CD management software to deliver the products as fast as we can to test the water (product-market fit, validation...), then iterate, and pivoting quickly if needed. It's a good tool to do all of that.

PROS

These features helped us with fixing issues and shipping more: Configuration Management, Build Log and Approval Workflow. All of that made our workplace headache-free and reduce the number of sleepless nights for our developers...

CONS

The software lacks these features: Chat/Messaging, Authentication and Assignment Management.

Easy-to-use UI and features for configuring the CI

We deploy in the form of a circle. Since it was already in place when I began working here, I can't speak to how things were before, but I can say that it makes things much simpler for newcomers to the organization.

PROS

Excellent customer service, and now even faster builds Workflows 2.0 makes it simple for me to parallelize tasks. Simple integration with code-quality services like GitHub. If necessary, it can be built on macOS.

CONS

Nothing of significance to point out. It's a little messy with reduced resolutions if we go to a project and filter it by Branch Name. On a mobile device or a browser tab, for example. Except for that, everything else is fine.

CI/CD with few lines

Integration with IOs allow us to build and test the mobile apps and automatize our whole CI/CD pipeline

PROS

Sine the release of circleci v2.0 using containers as the main advantage using circle has become much simpler and powerfull. Their integration with IOs its a powerup in front of other CI/CD platforms

CONS

The ui really needs to cleanup a bit, make it simpler. Also their need to provide more integrations with third party tools

I love CI about as much as Circle does

PROS

The simplicity of configuration is unparalleled. We use CI on new projects day one. The ease of use, and setup, is definitely what keeps us coming back.

CONS

Lack of tools for multi project repos. We would love to keep our front and back-end code together in one repo while splitting the CI for them. So, it'd be great if we could run two builds separately based on the same repo.
