Codefresh

Codefresh solves one of the most challenging issues with running CI/CD pipelines - usability.

What do you like best? Apart from a stunning and easy to use UI and packed with tons of features, we liked how Codefresh works with containerization and Kubernetes in mind. Another helpful capability was the ability to define custom steps that can be reused in numerous pipelines. That significantly simplifies building custom pipelines (especially if following GitOps like pattern). Even though Codefresh was very well documented, we also got tremendous help from support. The team was very ...

Most Streamlined CI/CD Platform for Containerised Applications

What do you like best? After searching and evaluating a number of different platform for CI/CD we discovered Codefresh to be the most cost effective, easy to use and customisable for all our workflows. With a direct Kubernetes API integration, we can control each cluster directly from the Codefresh dashboard. This has provided us with a faster feedback on making some quick changes like increasing replicas. The Helm Dashboard that allows for easy Helm control such as visibility of which ...

Superior tool to modernize CI/CD

What do you like best? Docker based model which avoids the pitfalls of using Jenkins with conflicting plugins. YAML configuration is modern, readable, and easily accepted by different software development groups. Hybrid installation for on-prem runners and SaaS hosted UI allowed us to keep our data internal while getting updates and product improvements with no upgrades on our part. Docker containers with each step gives granular control of software version for the task. Integrations with ...

Great product with great support

What do you like best? The product speaks for itself as far as reliability, name recognition and quality. What really sets them apart for me is the hasty response time from support when our company needs something. Has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. What do you dislike? Nothing comes to mind in regards to negative commentary. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Their assistance in our CI/CD pipeline projects as well as help ...

Speed and Customer Service

What do you like best? I looked far and wide for a replacement for Jenkins in an effort to update our pipelines and increase team engagement. Codefresh was the clear winner. Codefresh pipelines are easy to build and have a ton of great features with more coming out all the time. Their build optimizations help keep teams moving forward and not sitting around waiting on builds. They have been very responsive to any and all requests including technical support and feature requests. Codefresh ...

Pipeline debugger will change your life

What do you like best? Codefresh makes it insanely easy to integrate my CI/CD pipeline with my K8s infrastructure, without requiring that my K8s infra be married to the CI/CD pipeline or owned by it. The pipeline debugging feature, as the title indicates, is a HUGE game changer. Too many pipelines end up as just a complicated mess of abstractions over the actual logic that is being executed at a given moment, but with the ability to enter a debugging state before, during (for freestyle ...

Perfect balance between low- and high-level CI/CD management

What do you like best? Perfect balance between low-level close-to-the-metal container-based pipelines and high-level super-user-friendly UI, GitOps support, pipeline debugging with breakpoints, K8s/Docker/Helm as first-class citizens, built-in secrets, a multitude of integrations, great doc and support material/videos/webinars, nice people... (well, there's so much more, do you really want me to keep going?!? ;) What do you dislike? Set of commands that can be invoked while ...

Amazing service that saves a ton of time and money

What do you like best? Managing Kubernetes is very complicated and requires someone with a highly specialized skillset, one that's only just now starting to become more popular. Being a software engineer and business owner, I don't have time to manage my daily workload and stay up to date with whatever is happening in the Kubernetes world but at the same time I can't afford dedicated staff to handle that. Between Google Cloud Platform and CodeFresh, I can get by with my limited knowledge ...

Critical to our development process

What do you like best? Our pipeline gives us the ability to quickly and automatically create PR environments so features can be easily tested by our QA engineers. What do you dislike? Currently we only have an allowance of 2 parallel builds which can sometimes mean that builds get delayed. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Codefresh gives us a robust and repeatable pipeline that performs building, testing and deployment for our web ...

Pipeline Automation made right

What do you like best? Docker first: With every step being a docker container I don't have to worry about the management of worker nodes. Custom Steps: I have 3 right now which have been extremely valuable in that I don't have to update 30 pipelines when I made a simple change to them. The custom steps support versioning too. Pipeline Debugger: I love being able to add breakpoints to a pipeline! Extremely valuable when I'm writing a new pipeline. I don't have to run what I know is ...
