Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The solution provides good integrations.""The integration with other AWS services has streamlined our workflow.""The integration is a good feature.""It works seamlessly with AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR).""The integration is a good feature."

"TeamCity is very useful due to the fact that it has a strong plug-in system.""It provides repeatable CI/CD throughout our company with lots of feedback on failures and successes to the intended audiences via email and Slack.""I have not yet implemented the remote build feature, but this will be a big plus. We want to be able to build legacy products on a build agent without developers needing to have obsolete tool sets installed on their local PC.""It's easy to move to a new release because of templates and meta-runners, and agent pooling.""The most valuable aspect of the solution is its easy configuration. It also has multiple plugins that can be used especially for building .net applications.""TeamCity is a very user-friendly tool.""The flexibility of TeamCity allows it to fit in workflows that I have yet to imagine.""VCS Trigger: Provides excellent source control support."

Cons
"There is no persistent storage or preservation of workspace between the builds.""They can further improve the integration of the Bitbucket for CodeBuild.""While working on building images for multiple applications within a single script, I encountered an issue where looping functionality was not supported as expected.""The deployment fails sometimes."

More AWS CodeBuild Cons →

"We've called TeamCity tech support. Unfortunately, all their tech support is based in Europe, so we end up with such a big time crunch that I now need to have one person in the US.""If there was more documentation that was easier to locate, it would be helpful for users.""I would suggest creating simple and advanced configurations. Advanced configurations will give more customizations like Jenkins does.""Their online documentation is fairly extensive, but sometimes you can end up navigating in circles to find answers. I would like them (or partner with someone)​ to provide training classes to help newcomers get things up and running more quickly.""REST API support lacks many features in customization of builds, jobs, and settings.""It will benefit this solution if they keep up to date with other CI/CD systems out there.""I need some more graphical design.""Integrating with certain technologies posed challenges related to time and required support from the respective technology teams to ensure smooth integration with TeamCity."

    Moving to TeamCity from Jenkins At work, we’re slowly migrating from Jenkins to TeamCity in the hope of ending some of our recurring problems with continuous integration. My use of Jenkins prior to this job has been almost strictly on a personal basis, although I pretty much only use Travis nowadays. The biggest difference upon initial inspection is that TeamCity is far more focused on validating individual commits rather than certain types of tests. Jenkins’ front page presents information that is simply not useful in a non-linear development environment, where people are often working in vastly different directions. How many of the previous tests passed/failed is not really salient information in this kind of situation. Running specific tests for individual commits on TeamCity is far more trivial in terms of interface complexity than Jenkins. TeamCity just involves clicking the ”…” button in the corner on any test type (although I wish it wasn’t so easy to click “Run” by accident). I generally find TeamCity a lot more intuitive than Jenkins out of the box. There’s a point at which you feel that if you have to scour the documentation to do anything remotely complex in an application, you’re dealing with a bad interface. One disappointing thing in both is that inter-branch merges improperly trigger e-mails to unrelated committers. I suppose it is fairly difficult to determine who to notify about failure in situations like these, though. It seems like TeamCity pulls up the… Read more →

    Overview

    AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. With CodeBuild, you don’t need to provision, manage, and scale your own build servers. CodeBuild scales continuously and processes multiple builds concurrently, so your builds are not left waiting in a queue. You can get started quickly by using prepackaged build environments, or you can create custom build environments that use your own build tools. With CodeBuild, you are charged by the minute for the compute resources you use.

    TeamCity is a Continuous Integration and Deployment server that provides out-of-the-box continuous unit testing, code quality analysis, and early reporting on build problems. A simple installation process lets you deploy TeamCity and start improving your release management practices in a matter of minutes. TeamCity supports Java, .NET and Ruby development and integrates perfectly with major IDEs, version control systems, and issue tracking systems.
