Useful to create custom pipelines

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is its intuitive interface for converting existing Kubernetes specs into working pipelines. It's easy for anyone to deploy anything on any environment when they need to test or deploy for a specific merchant or use case. Instead of going into the specs and changing different variables, they can do it through the UI, which is very useful. "

Cons

"Regarding areas for improvement, one significant issue is the lack of maker-checker flows to ensure that newly created pipelines are accurate and tested. We currently use an in-house abstraction over Spinnaker to verify pipeline specs, environment variables, etc. It would be beneficial if Spinnaker could offer this functionality within their product.

An open-source solution that can be used to deploy docker containers or docker images to Google Kubernetes Engine

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Spinnaker is the rollback."

Cons

"Spinnaker's configuration setup is too complicated and should be made easy."

Good integrations, a helpful user community, and good reliability

Pros

"There is a good community around the product that makes troubleshooting possible."

Cons

"Log-wise, we need to understand why something has failed so that we can understand and try to fix it the moment the issue is reported. The solution could use more robust monitoring. "

Has scalability issues, but it is completely free for users

Pros

"Spinnaker is used for automating a variety of deployment tasks, infrastructure, provisioning tasks, and all kinds of things."

Cons

"Every time it goes to run a pipeline, it just generates a lot of data, and its database is not exactly tuned out of the box, meaning it is not tuned for high scalability."
